Wlghtman, Albert Zacharias.

The i'hair (Mr. Lambie) presented

Resolved , By the Select and Common Coun¬
cils of the City of Pittsburgh, that they do
respectfully and urgently petition Hon. Jno.
B. Long, Secretary of the rJavy, to give the
name of “Pittsburgh” to one of the new ships
of war to be constructed for the United States
Navy.

In preferring this request, we desire to pre¬
sent a few reasons which ought to be potent
in making up a decision in favor of our re¬
quest.

Pittsburgh is the heart of the greatest iron
and steel producing interests in the world.
The population of Pittsburgh, making it a
center for a radius of sixty miles, according to
the census of 1890, was 1,608,964 being the
largest of any district of corresponding extent
in the United States west ot the Atlantic
coast.

The annual traffic between the Lakes and
Pittsburgh district is estimated at 18,000,000
tons, which is transportated by ten lines of
railway. The total ascertained tonnage of the
city by water and rail is 44,000,000 tons larger
than any other city in the world.

The output of crude iron in Pittsburgh
alone is 24 per cent, of the total production in
the United States. In Bessemer steel ingots
and castings over 43 percent, and over 55 per
cent, of the total production of crucible steel.
Armor plate, projectiles and munitions of
war produced here have achived a world-wide
reputation, and require only to be mentioned
to be appreciated.

We do not desire to multiply figures to
prove that ours is no mean city, and that the
request contained in this communication is
based on material grounds.

If the Honorable Secretary of the Navy
would be pleased to grant our petition, we ex¬
press further desire that the ship named for
Pittsburgh be built in this country by Ameri¬
cans, and of American material.

Which was read.

Mr. Diehl, Wm. J. moved

That the resolution be adopted.

Which motion prevailed.

The business of the joint session being over

Mr. USagee, W. A. moved

That the joint session do now adjourn.

Which motion prevailed.

And Select Council returned to its own
chamber.

Mr. Benz moved

That the action of the joint session be
ratified and confirmed.

Which motion prevailed.

And on motion

Council adjourned.

EXHIBIT “A.”

Pittsburgh, Pa., April 19,1898.

W. A. Magee,

Chairman of the Committee on Finance.

Dear Sir:—In to-dav’s Times, we see that the
need of a Municipal nospital is again warmly
agitated. In consideration of the need, we
would like to offer a proposition to the officials
of the city from this hospital, as follows;
There are three rooms here that afford suffi¬
cient isolation to nurse cases of contagious dis¬
ease, one double room and two single ones,
witli an apartment adjoining for the attend¬
ing nurse. The four beds we could keep in
readiness for any calls from the city for care
of cases of contagious disease, exclusive of
small-pox and leprosy. Proposing the follow¬
ing rates: A yearly rental of $5.00 per week for
each bed with an additional cost of $2.00 per
day when occupied. Should this meet the
approval of the city, we believe it will reach
the present demand.

Any further legislation on the subject can
beheld with the management at any time
here.

Yours respectfully.

The Sisters op Mercy,

C. C. No. 309.

Pittsburgh, May 23,1898.
To the Select and Common Councils of the City of

Titlsburgh.

Gkntlkmkn:— I herewith present, for your
approval, in accordance with an ordinance
duly passed and approved by the Mayor of
the city of Pittsburgh, in relation to the pur¬
chase of a lot of ground in the Twentieth
wsird, for the purpose of erecting an engine
house thereon, a deed for a lot of ground
fronting 96.26 at the corner of Filbert and
Elmer streets,and running back 110feet, more
or lesR.

The Chief Engineer of the Bureau of Fire.
M. H, Humphreys, and myself have made
diligent search and enquiry fora suitable lot
in the Twentietn ward lortlie purposes de¬
scribed. and, in our judgment, this is the best
available location that can oe obtained. The
price ihereior, to wit: $8,550, or the sum of $90
a foot front, in my opinion is reasonable, and
less than many other locations that we ex¬
amined in said ward.

This is a large ward, rapidly growing, and it.
will be necessary to build quite a large house
and it is necessary to iiave a good sized lot.
This lot is large enough to build a suitable
engine house thereon and reserve ground
enough in the rear to build a police station at
some future time, and I trust that your
Honorable bodies will pass a proper resolution
directing the City Controller lo pay for the
same upon The City Attorney’s filing a certi-
vale with the Controller as to the validity of

Pittsburgh, May 20, 1898.

J. 0. Brown, Esq.,

Director Department of Public Safety.

DkarSir:--aii inspection of the territory
included in the Twentieth ward, and where
an additional pngine house and company is
greatly needed, has demonstrated that Hie
only available lot suitable for Ihe purpose is
located at the corner of Elmer and Filbert
streets. A fair and practical division of the
ground to be covered by J )»is and t lie existing
companies of our bureau, would naturaliy
suggest that we go two or three squares
further east, but, upon enquiry, it vvasascer-
tained that no property in that locality could
be s< cured for engine house purposes, hence
the above site is suggested. The location will
give us a fair opportunity to cover a large area
of unprotected property, and with this end in
view I would respectfully recommend that
you urge the adoption of this site by Councils.

Very truly yours,

M. H. flUMrHRhV-S

Chief Bureau of Fire.

EXHIBIT “A.”

Pittsburgh, Pa., April 19,1898.

W. A. Magee,

Chairman of the Committee on Finance.

Dear Sir:—in to-day’s “Times” we see that the
need of a Municipal hospital is again warmly
agitated. In consideration of the need, we
would like to offer a proposition to t he officials
of the city from this hospital, as follows:
There are three rooms here that afford suffi¬
cient isolation to nursecasesot contagious dis¬
ease, one double room and two single ones,
witli an apartment adjoining for the attend¬
ing nurse. The four beds we could keep In
readiness for any calls from the city for care
of cases of contagious disease, exclusive of
small-pox and leprosy. Proposing the follow¬
ing rates: A yearly rental of 85.00 per week lor
each bed with an additional cost of $2.00 per
day when occupied, should this meet the
approval of the city wo believe it will reach
the present demand.

Any further legislation on the subject can
beheld with the management at any time
here.

Yours respectfully,

The Chair presented
No. 170.

Mayor’s Office, )

Pittsburgh, Pa., May 31,1898. J
To the Members of Select and Common Councils

of the City of Pittsburgh:

Gentlemen 1 return herewith, without
my approval, S. C. No. 113, entitled “An Ordi¬
nance relating to Bill Posters and providing
for the granting of licenses thereto;” and s. C.
No. 114, entitled “An Ordinance amending
Sections 1 and 2 of An Ordinance entitled “An
Ordinance to regulate and prohibit in certain
cases, exhibitions,’ ordained and enacted Into
a law on the 20th day of September, 1857.”

These ordinances were passed finally by
your honorable bodies on May 23d. 1898.

As seems to me their objectionable features
are in the main common to both ordinances,

I include them in one message.

The ordinances propose no change in the
license fees either lor public exhibitions or for
bill posting, nor in the penalties for violating
their provisions. They merely take away the
license issuing power which now resides In
the Mayor, and vest It in the Director of the
Department, of Public Safety, and provide
that the license fees shall be paid directly to
the City Treasurer.

With the latter proposal lam heartily in
accord. The City Treasurer’s office is equip¬
ped with the proper means of collecting and
accounting, deals directly with the banks of
deposit, and so far as may be possible it
should, in my judgment, collect all city
revenues without the intervention of any
other agency.

With regard to the former proposition, how¬
ever, I see no sufficient reason for curtailing
the powers and duties of the Mayor of the
city. The ends of good government would

79

seem to be better served by giving incumbenls
of that office a wider scope in the future, and
more direct and potential supervision over
the executive departments. I am enabled to
put tilts point with special frankness, as 1 am
now nearing the end of my term in the office
of Mayor, and can have no personal feeling or
Interest In the matter.

There does not seem to be any essential con¬
nection between the conservation of the safely
of tlie community and Ihe issuing o( licenses
to Hill Posters, yhowinen, &c. The matter of
preserving good order and n proper respect
fur morality in public exhibitions is a natural
duly of the police officials, which they have
been performing under the existing law. and
which would remain with them regardless
and independent of the source from which ihe
license issued.

The ordinance relating to Bill Posters and
providing for granting licenses thereto is
further objectionable in that while it is an
amendment to Beciions 1 and 2 of Ihe ordi¬
nance of September 20th, 1&69, it neither recites
the sections displaced nor even cites the ordi¬
nance itself. It seems to be of doubtful
legality and more than doubtful propriety
for a Municipal Legislature toattempt what
the state Legislature is expressly lot bidden to
do by the Constitution, to wit: to amend an
existing law without reciting at length the
sections proposed to be amended.

Very respectfully yours,

H. P. Ford.

Mayor.

Which was re td, received and filed.

And,

8. C, Bill No. 118. An Ordinance en¬

Pittsburgh, Septembers, 1898.

7b ike Select and Common Councils of the City

of JHltsburgh.

Gentlemen I transmit herewith a propo¬
sition for the executors of the estate of
Margaret Nebo, deceased,to sell to lhe city for
use of ihe Department of Charities seventy
acres more or less land. This is a small farm
adjoining the city farm at Marshalsea, but on
the opposite side of Charters Creek.

The acquirement of this land will give us
control of both sides of the creek where our
sewerage flows into It, and perhaps do away
will) any liability of complaint on that point.
The main reasons, however, for the desire to
add this land to the farm Is the fact that we
need it to enable us to change and diversify
crop-*, so that the farm can be worked to the
best advunlage. We are striving to be able to
grow all the vegetables, hay and straw that
may be needed without going outside to pur¬
chase same; this year we have come very
nearly to that point, but in order to do it en¬
tirely we must have more land.

The price Is 8150.00 per acre, which is much
below the average asked for land in this
vicinity. The proposition comes to me direct
from the execute) s, and there are no agents or
middle men Interested in the matter, and
consequently no fees or commission of any
kind to be paid.

I earnestly desire and urge that Councils at
once accent the proposition, so that the price
can be included In the estimates for the com¬
ing year.

Very respectfully.

To the Select and Common Councils of the City of

Gentlemen Your honorable bodies have
by official action authorized and directed the
Director of the Department of Public Safely
to tender the use of the Public Safety build¬
ing, Sixth avenue, to the managers of the
Twenty-seventh Annual Knights Templar
Conclave. In compliance with your direction,
ns Director I tendered the use of said building
for said purpose and the same has been ac¬
cepted and has been designated by the general
committee as headquarters for tiie Knights
Templar Conclave,

The Committee on Public Safety has directed
me to prepare some suitable and fitting de¬
signs and decorations lor this public demon¬
stration and parade. These have been ap¬
proved by the Committee on Public Safety,
and your Director has been instructed to re¬
quest councils of the City of Pittsburgh to
ratify the same and direct your Director to
have full charge and management of said
decorations.

These designs and decorations are moderate
though appropriate in design and character.
As to their exact cost your Director is unable
lo give you definite information, owing to the
fact that at this early date it is impossible to
obtain the exact figures though they will not
in all probability, exceed $l,5u0.

The Committee on Public Safety does, there¬
fore, request your honorable bodies to pass a
resolution approving the work contemplated
to be done, and authorizing your Director to
have charge, management and control of said
decorations, the bills and expenses connected
therewith to be submitted to councils for ap¬
proval before presentation to the City Con¬
troller for payment.

I would, therefore, respectfully ask your
honorable bodies to pass a resolution covering
this request of the Committee on Public
Safety, and authorizing your Director to pro¬
ceed as hereiniSpecifted.

And be will ever pray.

Respectfully yours,

J. O. Brown,

Pittsburgh, September 12,1898.
To Select and Common Councils of the city of
Pittsburgh.

Gentlemkn A yearly contract was en¬
tered into with the Walther-Robertson Drug
Company sometime in May for furnishing
Formaldehyde to the Bureau o Health lor
the year 1898. This contract was let in pur¬
suance with their proposal, duly approved by
Councils and the Mayor, and deposited with
the City Controller. It now appears, by letter
oi the Walther-Robertson Drug Company,
hereto attached and made part of this com¬
munication, that an error was made by a
clerk in the employ of said drug company,
whereby Formaldehyde was rated at eight
cents instead of forty cents per pound. The
enforcement of this coutract would cause con¬

siderable loss to said drug company, and they
would respectfully ask councils to annul and
set aside said contract.

In my opinion this is a just and reasonable
request, and I therefore join with the Walther-
Robertson Drug Company in asking that your
honorable body pass a resolution releasing said
company from said contract and from furnish¬
ing Formaldehyde to the Burtau of Health
for the coming year.

Very truly yours,

J O. Brown.

Director Department of Public Safety.

Pittsburgh, Pa., September 12, 1898.
J. O. Brown,

Director Department of Public Safety, City.

Dear Sir:— Will you kindly place before
councils our request that our contract with
the ciiy for drugs, etc., be cancelled and made
void on account of a clerical error made in
copying our proposal by one of our clerks for
Formaldehyde at 8 c^nts instead of 40 cents as
on our proposal sheet. We ask that the con¬
tract be made void because we could not fur¬
nish Formaldehyde of a reliable quality at
the price named, and if compelled to furnish
Formaldehyde at this price, it would be a
serious loss to us, as our bid at 40 cents was an
exiremely low one.

Trusting that you may be able to arrange
this matter for us, we remain,

Yours truly,

The Walther-Robertson Drug Co.,
A. C. Robertson. .

Also,

No. 289. Resolved, That so much

S. C. No. 288.

Pittsburgh, September 12, 1898.
To Select and Common Councils of (he city of

Pittsburgh.

Gentlemen A yearly contract was en¬
tered into with the Walther-Robertson Drug
Company sometime in May for furnishing
Formaldehyde to the Bureau o Health tor
the year 1898. Tills contract was let in pur¬
suance with their proposal, duly approved by
Councils and the Mayor, and deposited with
the City Controller. It now appears, by letter
ol the Walther-Robertson Drug Company,

h- rcto attached and made part of this com¬
munication, that an error was made by a
clerk in the employ of said drug company,
wnoreby Formaldehyde was rated at eight
cents instead of forty cents per pound. The
enforcement, of this contract would cause con¬
siderable loss to said drug company, and they
would respectfully ask councils to annul and
set aside said contract.

Jn my opinion this is a just and reasonable
request,and I therefore join with the Walther-
Robortson Drug Company in asking that your
honorable body passa resolution releasing said
company from said contract and from furnish¬
ing Formaldehyde to the Bureau of Health
for the coming year.

Very truly yours.

J O. Brown.

Director Department of Public Safety.

Pittsburgh, Pa., September 12, 1898.

•7. O. Brown,

Director Department of Public Safety, City.

Dear Sir Will you kindly place before
councils our request that our contract with
the oily for drugs, etc., be cancelled and made
void on account of a clerical error made in
cop\ ing our proposal by one of our clerks for
Formaldehyde at 8 cents instead of 40 cents as
on our proposal sheet. We ask that the con¬
tract be made void because we could not fur¬
nish Formaldehyde of a reliable quality at
the price named, and if compelled to furnish
Formaldehyde at this price, it would be a
serious loss to us, as our bid at 40 cents was an
extremely low one.

Trusting that you may be able to arrange
tkio matter for us, we remain,

Yours truly,

The Walthkr-Robertson Drug Co.,
A. C. Robertson.

Mr. I'orry presented

From the Committee on Charities with
an affirmative recommendation

S. U. No. 211.

Pittsburgh, Septcmber5,1898.

To the Select and Common Councils of the City

of IHttsburgh.

Gentlemen I transmit herewith a propo¬
sition for the executors of the estate of
Margaret Nebo, deceased, to sell to ihe city for
use of the Department of Charities seventy
acres more or less land. This is o small farm
adjoining the city farm at Marshal sea, but ou
the opposite side of Chartiers Creek.

The acquirement of this land will give us
control of both sides of the creek where our
sewerage flows into it, and perhaps do away
with any liability of complaint on that point.
Tiie main reasons, however, for the desire to
add this land to tne farm ts the fact that we
need it to enable us to change and diversify
crops, so that the farm can be worked to the
best advantage. We are striving to be able to
grow all the vegetables, hay and straw that
may be needed without going outside to pur¬
chase same; this year we have come very
nearly to that point, but in order to do it en¬
tirety we must have more land.

The price is $150.00 per acre, which is much
below the average asked for land in this
vicinity. The proposition comes to me direct
from the executors, and there are no agents or
middle men interested in the matter, and
consequently no fees or commission of any
kind to be paid.

I earnestly desire and urge that Councils at
once accept the proposition, so that the price
ran be included in the estimates for the com¬
ing year.

Very respectfully.

Geo. Booth,

Director Department of Charities.

Also,

S. C. No. 242.

Walkers Mills, pa., August 31,1898.

We ttie undersigned executors of the estate
of Margaret Nebo. deceased, do hereby pro¬
pose, to sell to the Department of Charities, of
the City of Pittsburgh, all that certain farm
situated in upper St. Clair Township. County
of Allegheny, State Pennsylvania, bounded
and described as follows: On the north by
laud of Hastings heirs and McKown heirs,
on the east by land of Jacob Snyder ana
Calvin Morrow, on the south and west by
Chartiers creek, containing seventy acres,
more or less, with the coal and mineral lying
under said farm, in consideration of the pay¬
ment to us of the sum of $150.00 per acre,
payable on or before the 10th day of April, A.
D. 1899. Upon payment of said amount being
made a warrantee deed for said land will be
given free of all encumbrances to the said
City of Pittsburgh, should said Department
of Charities fail to accept this offer in writing
by the 1st day of October, 1898, it shall be null
and void.

10th to 15th, 1898, the Twenly*seventh Trl- j
ennial Conclave of tiie Knights Templars was
held in the City of Pittsburgh. This meeting
brought to our city many thousands of people,
both as members of the Knights Templars
and sight-seers. On October llth, the Knights
Templars gave a parade over a portion of our
city, extending from Dnquesne wayand Sixth

street to Scheniey Park. For the proper pre¬
servation of the peace ana the protection of
the citizens at large, I deemed it necessary to
appoint quite a number of special patrolmen
on this clay, to wit: October llth, 1898. This
was done under and by virtue of authority
given me by Section 8 of an ordinance enti¬
tled, “An Ordinance to carry into effect an
Act of Assembly entitled ‘An Act in relation

ments and Bureaus, the mode of I heir election
and appointment, defining the duties and
powers of all such, fixing the amount of bonds
to be given, ailoting Ihe various bureaus and
other officers to the proper department, fixing
salaries and compensation to be paid, defin¬
ing the duties of the Board ot Assessors, fixing
tiie salaries thereof, and also that of theCily
Clerk,” approved December 17th, A. IX 1887.
For this purpose, I appointed members of
military forces stationed iu the City of Pitts¬
burgh then known as the Eighteenth Regi¬
ment, Pennsylvania Volunieers, United
States Army, Hampton Battery “B”, Pennsyl¬
vania Volunieers United States Army, and
Washington Infantry.

The total number of persons employed was
327.

All of these employes were paid the salary
of $2.50 each per day, as provided by the Ordi¬
nance hereinbefore mentioned.

proval, t remain,

Gentlemen I herewith transmit com-
tnunicalIon from the Merchants and Cotton
Exchange of the city of Memphis, Term., and,
In accordance with their request, I have ap¬
pointed the following delegates:

Mr. Crosby Gray, Superintendent of the
Bureau of Health; Drs. R. G. Taylor and E. G.
Mattson, physicians to Bureau of Health, to
attend a convention to be held November 17,

Dear Sir I beg to advise you that a move¬
ment lias recently been originated here by the

Merchants’ and Cotton Exchanges of tills
city, the object (see resolutions enclosed) being
to hold a con veil Mon in Ihecityof Memphis
on November 17, 18 and 11), 1898, for the pur¬
pose of securing: an effective National quaran¬
tine, and to discuss the best mode of prevent¬
ing yellow fever and all other infectious or
contagious diseases from enteringour country,
and should such disease enter here, the best
methods to be used in preventing their spread
and slumping them out.

Our committee is uncertain as to the char¬
acter and scope of a National quarantine law,
and whether it. should be administt r< d
through a National board of health, ttie
marine hospital service, or otherwise; so this
convention is called for consultation and ihe
formulating of some comprehensive plan to
be submitted for congressional action.

The Convention will be expected to appoint
influential delegates to pre-wnt its conclusions
to the Administration and Ihe houses of Con¬
gress, and otherwise a id in securing such legis¬
lation as will lead to the deMrcd end.

We, therefore, ask that you appoint two
delegates to meet with us at the above named
place ancl date.

Will you, on receipt of this, promptly ad¬
vise our secretary whether you will send dele¬
gates, and if so, the names of your delegation.

Keep before you the fact that delegates
should be sent who are in favor of National
quarantine, as otherwise the convention
will be one of needless discussion.

Very truly yours,

J. S. Mennen,

Fred Ogill. Chairman.

Secretary.

No. 472.

Pittsburgh, Pa., November 14th, 1898.
To the Honorable Members of the Select and

Common Councils of the City of Pittsburgh:

Gentlemen On the 16th day of Decem¬
ber, 1897, the committee appointed by the
Mayor under the resolution passed by your
honorable bodies on the 13th day of Decem¬
ber, 1897, met with Mr. Robert Pitcairn,
(tenoral Agent and Superintendent of the
Pittsburgli Division of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, and the Board of Direc¬
tors of said Companv, together with the com¬
mittee from the “Chamber of Commerce” in
the Director's Room in the Broad street
station in the City of Philadelphia, for a con¬
ference with regard to the erection of a new
Terminal Passenger Railroad station in the
city of Pittsburgli. The committee appointed
by tho Mayor under your resolution, on the
loth day of December, 1897, consisted of the
following:

Thos, (1. McClure, Member of Select Coun¬
cil, Eleventh ward.

Georae W. Wilson, Member of Common
Council, Twenty-second ward.

Hon. Bernard McKenna, Ex-Mayor.

Edward M. Bigelow, Director, Department
of Public Works.

William H. Seif, President, “Pittsburgh
Times.”

Hon. James H. Reed, President Pittsburgh,
Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad.

Hon. Robert S. Frazier, Judge Common
Pleas Court No. 2.

Afier a very general and exhaustive dis¬
cussion of the subject of the railroad company
erecting a new passenger station In the city,
the committee pressed the claims of the city

showing the urgent necessity of their making
certain improvements, and giving to it a new
Terminal Passenger Railroad station, with
the least delay possible, to relieve the con¬
gested streets surrounding the present loca¬
tion, and give better facilities for the handling
o( the travelling public, together with the
removal of the unsightly structure that is now
used for a passenger station, and the present
location used as a produce yard.

The Pennsylvania Railroad officials gave
the assurance that they would immediately
have the matter taken up and report to the
committees at an early date. The result of
the Interview has been that the company on
the sixth day of October last offered for the
inspection and approval of the committees a
plan of the proposed new passenger station,
extending in a west,wardly direction 100 feet
from the site of the old one, thereby doing
away with the tracks of the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne and Chicago Railroad at grade. The
station proper will be five stories high, and
the building including the cab stand will be
200 x 357 feet. The train shed will be 240 feet
wide by 540 feet long, and immediately ad-
joinc t he station on the east. Train shed to
be const ructed of steel and glass. The front,
of the building to be occupied by a cab stand
209 by 123 feet, viz: 209 ieet along the front or
the approach from New Grant street and
Liberty avenue. The area of the train shed is
129.600 square feet, and that of the cab stand
itself 25,707 square feet. The building and im¬
provements cover an area of six and a half
acres. The approach to the station will make
one of the most desirable changes that the
City of Pittsburgh could ask for, beginning at
the intersection of New Grant street with
Liberty avenue, a distance of 500 Ieet west,
from the new building with a gradual ascent
until the cab stand is reached. At this point
a heighth of about 15 feet above Liberty ave¬
nue will be reached and the elevation of the
Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago tracks
over Penn and Liberty avenues will be that
much, and will very likely result in bringing
the tiaius of the West Penn Road to this side
of the river. The building itself as shown by
the plans will be an exceedingly desirable
addition to the many handsome buildings in
our city, and its commercial value will be
very great, as the cost of the building and im¬
provements means to the railroad companies
an outlay in round figures of $2,000,000.
Should the City approve of the plans pre¬
sented, and now finally adopted by the Board
of Directors of the Company. It will not only
remove the present building, the use of which
should long ago been abandoned; but. also,
remove the produce warehouse and freight
sheds on New Grant street which have been a
nuisance to our citizens and property holders
formany years past, to the Company’s pro¬
perty between sixteenth and Twenty-first
streets. It, also, will take this old and long
backward section of the city and develop in¬
to It new life and energy. The old unsightly
precipitous side hills along the line of the
railroad will be beautified, and the adjoining
territory to the new armory site will be ele¬
vated in the character of Its surroundings
and neighborhood, and when taken in con¬
nection with the boulevard, where much of
the territory along the same has already been
acquired by boulevard proceedings by the
Director of Public Works. The plans and
general deiail was received at the Mayor’s
office for the inspection of tlie committee on
October Uth last for it to consider the
structure, its plans and location. They met
at the office on October 7th, and after a very
careful examination of everything in detail

20C>

and explanation by Mr. Pitcairn expressed
their general sat isfaction and approval. The
committee having charged its duty to the
Connells and citizens, have drawn up the in¬
closed resolution, which they desire me to pre¬
sent for them, with the earnest, request that
yon will give this very important matter
your earliest and best attention, and take
rorript action with regard to the offer of the
eiinsylvania Railroad Company, that they
may be pnt in a position to proceed promptly
with their changes and building operations.
The whole matter is now hi your hands, and I
am informed that the railroad company will,
atui are prepared to commence the work upon
the construction of the station and other im¬
provements as soon as your honorable
bodies approve the plans and give the con¬
sent. I would, therefore, suggest that you
approve the resolution adopted by the com¬
mittee. so that the railroad company may, at
once he put in position to advertise for bids
for the const ruction.

Very respectfully yours,

H. P. Ford,
Mayor.

Which was read.

Mr. MheCIure moved

and filed.

Which motion prevailed.

Also.

No. 473. The committee appointed

elevation and surroundings together with
floor plans, approaches, entrances, etc., of the
new railroad passenger station and improve¬
ments, to be made by said road, provided the
report of the committee is satisfactory to the
Councils of said City, and that the resolution
of the committee are approved by them. The
committee beg leave to report that they have

carefully, and after a-i'ull and comprehensive

and Superintendent Pitcairn, can only ex¬

Also: Certain resolutions of the said board
of trustees upon the same. I think it exceed¬

tion, to decide what location will be offered
by tlie city, to meet the necessity for the en¬
largement of the Carnegie Library building of
Pittsburgh, for the proper accommodation of
the art, science and library departments

quate, with the extraordinary increase in
patronage by our citizens, and should the
matter be long delayed it will result In great
detriment to the usefulness of this institution.

Hoping that your honorable bodies will
appreciate the necessity for prompt action,

I am, very respectfully yours,

H. P. Ford,

C. C. No. 663.

Pittsburgh, Pa., Decembers, 1898.
To Select and Common Councils:

Gentlemen :—We, the undersigned owners
and tenants of properties fronting on Diamond

264

street, between Smlthfleld street and the
Market house, respectfully petition protest¬
ing against the widening ot said Diamond
street as proposed in an oidlnance prepared
by the Committee on Public Works, which is
to be submitted to your Honorable Bodies at
your next meeting, for Ihe following reasons :

First. The widening is not needed in the
interest of the property owners.

Second. We do not believe it has been
petitioned for by a majority in number or in¬
terest.

Third. The damages will by far exceed any
possible benefits which benefits are wholly
imaginative and speculative.

Fourth. The property taken is from one
side, namely the norihside. which is unfair 10
the owners, and, as we believe unconstitu¬
tional, and will be to many owners ruinous.

Fifth, The matter has been before your
bodies for many years. Former ordinances
were twice vetoed by Mayors Gourley and
MeCailin. The ordinance as passed declaring
the opening has been once found unconsti¬
tutional, and the last ordinance, not yet re¬
pealed, has been abandoned by the projectors,
lor tlie reasons given in second paragraph,
though apparently the majority in interest
and number had signed.

Sixth. The ordinance will be detrimental,
if passed, iu delaying improvements con¬
templated as well as extremely costly for nil
concerned from necessary litigation which
must follow.

Seventh. If the widening is done it will
prove very costly to the city at large.

We therefore solemnly protest against the
passage of said ordinance as proposed by
your Committee on Public Works.

And we shall ever pray.

Office of 4

Department of public Works, y
Pittsburgh, January 9,1899. j
7o the President* and Members of Select and

Common Councils .

Gentlemen:— In awarding the contract for
the new ilKing main to The T. A. Gillespie
Company, I have not followed the usual
course of awarding to the lowest bidder, the
reason being that we deferred the work of lay¬
ing the rising main until the Winter months
that we might do the work without closing
Highland Park, as the entire work is within
the park limits. In advertising for bids we
asked each contractor to fix on a time in
which he could do the work and the result Is
that the lowest bidder would require all of t tie
year lo complete the work, while the T. A.
Gillespie Company will complete the work
entire in two months.

Believing it to be to the interest of the city
and for the enjoyment and pleasure of the
community, I have awarded the coulract to
hem.

In addition, I would say that the cost of In¬
spection and engineering work for the length
of time that it would take the lowest bidder
to do the work would amount to more than
one-half of the difference between the lowest
bid and bid of parties to whom the contract is
awarded.

Very respectfully,

Edward M. Bigelow,
Director of Department, of Public Works.

In Common Council January 13, 1899.
Read, received and filed.

Which was read, received and filed.

No. m.

To the Select and Common Councils of the City

of IHttsburgh.

The undersigned property owners on the
line of the proposed Grant boulevard, between
Seventh avenue and Sixtli avenue in said
City of Pittsburgh, do hereby oppose and re¬
monstrate against the ordinance introduced
into Councils for the vacation of Fountain
street in favor of the Pennsylvania Company
atul Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago and St.
Louis Railroad Company, for the following
reasons:

First. That said Railroad Companies offer
to the City of Pittsburgh and the abutting
property owners no compensatory damages
for the value of the street proposed to be
vacated.

Second. That the Union Depot proposed by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company does
not materially benefit the abuttiug lot owners
on the proposed boulevard.

Third. That the former location of the
Grant boulevard by the City of Pittsburgh
was along the present location of said Foun¬
tain street (a 40-foot street) and a strip 20 feet
wide taken from the abutting property.

Fourth. That at the solicitation of the
Pennsylvania Company and the Pittsburgh,
Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad
Company, the Grant boulevard was by ordi¬
nance duly relocated and Is being opened at a
point 60 feet southwardly from Fountain
street, thereby greatly increasing the cost of
improvement of said boulevard.

Fifth. That by the change of said location
in favor of said companies, the lot owners
abutting on the extension of said Grant boule¬
vard between Seventh and Sixth avenues,
and the City of Pittsburgh will be compelled
to pay greater damages for the improvement
of said boulevard.

Sixth. That by reason of the extension of
said boulevard, Fountain street between
Seventh avenue and Tunnel street, will be¬
come unnecessary for street purposes to the
abutting lot owners, and the lots intervening
between the Grant boulevard and Fountain
street will be of little value for building pur¬
poses.

Seventh. That at the time the location of
said boulevard was changed, the Pennsyl¬
vania Railroad Company promised to locate
its Union Depot on Grant boulevard, and on
such promise the new location was made.

Eighth. That under the proposed agree¬
ment for vacation, the ground vacated is to
be used by said companies for an enlarged
freight depot on New Grant street and for an
increase of trackage in said railroad yards,
to the great damage of abutting property
owners.

Ninth. That the abutting property owners
and the City of Pittsburgh should not be com¬
pelled to made said improvement at such
great cost and damage for the benefit of said
Com panles.

No. 616.

Mayor’s Of kick, 1

Pittsburgh, Pa., January 27,1899.)

To the Presidents and Members of Select and

Common Councils.

Gentlemen:— In compliance with law, I
transmit to you herewith the annual reports
of the various city departments for the past
year, with the estimates of the directors, as to
what appropriations will be necessary for
properly conducting these departments dur¬
ing the ensuing year.

Apart from these I would call your atten¬
tion to the improved state of our city finances.
The continued issue of the permanent im¬
provement bonds authorized by vote of the
people, for the acquirement of bridges, the
enlargement and improvement of parks and
the construction of boulevards has added
largely to our bonded debt. This has been
1 strongly connterbalanced by the redemption
or relunding of $2,398,000 of our old 7 per cent,
water loan bonds, of which there was direct
provision in the corresponding sinking fund
to redeem all but $964,000, and money avail¬
able in other sinking funds to purchase $270,-
I 000 of the refunding bonds, leaving but $693,-
i 000, which was refunded at about one-half of
the former rate of interest. So that while
! there has been, by reason of the issue of these
i permanent improvement bondsabovealluded
to, an increase in our net bonded debt of
$280,000, there has been, by reason of the lower
mte of interest consequent upon the improve¬
ment of the city’s credit, a decrease in the
annual interest burden of over $100,000. For
the details of the city’s indebtedness, and
other matters relating to our finances, I refer
you to the report of the City Controller.

I would call your attention, however, in
this connection, to another gratifying inci¬
dent of the last year. I felt it my duty a year
ago to call your attention to the undesirable
and expensive results of over-estimating the
receipts from various sources, and appropri¬
ating accordingly, the results of which had
become so serious that the City Tieasurer was
at last compelled to begin borrowing money
to meet current expenses, when the fiscal
year was but little more than half over. This
situation was in part due, of course, to the
unexpected delay in receiving our State ap¬
propriation. This could not have been antici¬
pated when the estimates and appropriations
were made two years ago, but, taking counsel
one year ago by experience, you so adjusted
estimates and appropriations that the period
during which the actually collected revenue
in the treasury was not equal to the demands
upon it was reduced by 40 per cent. 1 hope
; for a continuance of this prudent policy and a
similar advancement in the line of buslness-
j like financier! ng this year.

One of the most Important works of last
year is the investigation of the filtration
question, by the committee appointed to in¬
quire into the necessity and probable cost of
providing this city with an adequate filtration
plant. The committee and its employees
nave industriously and continuously been at
work for more than two years. The labors
i are substantially completed, and as soon as
their formal report and recommendations are
in my hands, I shall transmit them to your
honorable bodies, with such suggestions as
may seem to me desirable.

•283

In taking up the report and estimates of the
Director of tne Department of Public Safety
you will And that the increases asked for ex¬
plain themselves. They are incident to the
rapid growth of the city, and the necessity of
providing udeqnate police and Are protection
to correspond with the same. Of the total in¬
crease. $49,70*2.20 has already been authorized
by ordinances passed by your honorable
bodies during the year, and must be provided
for In the appropriation ordinance.

The Increase in the appropriation for the
Bureau ol Eiectricily, necessary to keep that
system in touch with the new engine houses,
police stations and patrol boxes, follows as a
matter of course. The proposition to put 51)
sub-putrolmen on the salary list is the out¬
come of the best judgment of our police ol-
Acials, and would email a small net expense
compared with its advancement of the effici¬
ency of the police force.

The change madeby the ordinances passed
during the year just closed, whereby the col¬
lection of license moneys for various privi¬
leges is put directly in the hands of the City
Treasurer, has resulted in more business-like
methods and has relieved the Department of
Public fcialety of a burden entirely foreign to
its proper functions. I see no reason why tills
reform should not be extended to the Depart¬
ment of Public Works also.

The passage of the ordinance regulating the
operation of pool and billiard rooms has also
borne good fruit. The effect of its enforce¬
ment has been to greatly improve the good
order of neighborhoods most affected, ana to
remove many boys from the temptations of
vicious companions.

In connection with this department I desire
to renew my previous, recommendations for
the establishment ut a separation hospital for
contagious diseases. No subject should be
neurer to the consciences o legislators than
the preservation ol the public health, and no
municipality such as ours deserves lo rank
among the toretnost, which does not provide
amply, and in accordance with the most
modern medical science, for the separate and
sufe treatment of contagious diseases. The
isolation of infected homes, and purification
or destruction oi infected material, are steps
in the right direction, but the time is overdue
when we should have a public hospital where
such cases can be treated in the best manner
for those diseased, and in the safest manner
for the public. I feel sure that in urging
necessity again upon yourattention, I but ex¬
press the unanimous views of our municipal
health author it ies; but also the decisive judg-
ment of the entire medical profession.

In the same connection I would suggest that
you take up again the subject of {irovidlng
free public baflhs. The necessity for the*e
means of cleanliness, so nearly allied to the
preservation of health, have l>ecu set before
your honorable bodies already, and intelli¬
gently and approvingly considered. Other
and more urgent necessities have delayed
Anal action, but I believe that the conditions
are now lavorable, and that we should be able
to make a fair start this year.

In considering tiie report and estimates of
the Director of the uepartment of Public
Works you will observe that he asks for an
increase in certain bureaus and suggests re¬
ductions in others, the net increase being
$1U2,305,76.

One of the principal items of increase is for
the reconstruction of certain bridges which
the director enumerates, to wit : the Haight’s
Kun biidge, the Lincoln Avenue bridge, the

Point bridge, the Wilmot Street bridge
over the Junction railroad, the South
Main Street bridge and the Bond Street
biidge. Appropriations for this work
were asked by the director in his
last estimate, but circumstances were not
such as to permit the expenditure. I can
make no stronger comment on this item than
to quote ihe words of Director Bigelow, that
“ The lime has come when either traffic must
be stopped over these bridges or ihe bridges
rebuilt.”

This is a matter upon which we must accept
the director’s judgment as final or ignore it at
the gravest risk.

The increase required to establish a Bureau
of Surveys is an incident of the enterprise of
our citizens in developing residence property
and should be gladly granted. The increase
In the item of park maintenance is largely
due to the establishing and opening of our
new zoological buildings, which have been a
source of great entertainment and instruction
to our people, young and old.

The large Hems for permanent improve¬
ments, which the director suggests as wise
and necessary expenditures, but does not in¬
clude in his esiimaie, are matters to be dealt
with, not Immediately in the forthcoming ap¬
propriation ordinance, but in the future, in
connection with the consideration of a bond
issue for these and other permanent improve¬
ment*. I will not discuss them at this time
but shall do so in the future if a proposition is
made to submit the matter to a vote of the
people, as must necessarily be done.

As to tire increases asked for by the Director
of the Department of Charities: It is within
the knowledge of many members of your
honorable bodies, as it is within my own} that
all departments of the Insane asylums at
Marshalsea are filled to the limit, and that
even before the proposed buildings are ready
for occupancy the department will be troubled
lo fiud suitable quarters for those entitled to
admittance. There can be no question in the
mind of any one who has recently visited the
institution of the necessity of the improve¬
ments asked for by the director. Indeed, I
think he would have been fully justified in
asking for a larger appropriation for tills pur¬
pose, in order that we might build most
economically, looking to the absolutely
certain necessities of the immediate future,
as well us to the requirements that are now
pressing upon us. With regard to tne wisdom
of acquiring more farm land the director has
already addressed you at length, and I concur
in his recommendation. His estimates in
other respects seem to have been made with
careful regard to economy and should be
favorably considered.

I transmit the requisition of the Central
Board of education for the sum of $847,8-50,
together with the schedule of purposes lor
which it is proposed to expend the same. This
is an appropriat ion over which neither Coun¬
cils nor the Mayor has any discretionary
jurisdiction, and under the laws of the State
the requisition must be met.

The smali inenase asked by the Board of
Assessors is for the necessary expense of pre¬
paring new plans and schedules for the next
triennial assessment, and should be granted.

The increase, amounting to about $14,000,
asked for by the Board or Trustees of the Car¬
negie Library, is due almost wholly to the
necessity; of maintaining and slocking five
branch libraries, These branch libraries are
being established and opened to the public as
rapidly as possible. That at Lawrence-

284

ville has been in operation the greater part of
the year. The West Ena branch will be open
In a few days, and the Wylie avenue branch
sometime during thespring, The Mount Wash¬
ington and Hazelwood branches, so far ns the
buildings are concerned, will probably be
Uni shed during the year. I have personally
been in close association with the manage¬
ment of the libraries from the beginning.
Their affairs are managed with Hie utmost
economy and intelligence; the increases Unit
arc asked for are a necessary incident due to
the extension of our library system to the
various sections of the city, so that all our
people may be able to share in their benefits
with the utmost convenience and the least ex¬
pense. The growth of public interest in these
institutions has surpassed the expectations of
the most sanguine, and no hindrance should
be thrown in the way of their proper and com¬
plete development. 1 heartily concur in the
red nest of the trustees.

I also submit herewith the report of the
operations of the Police Magistrates directly
under the supervision of this office. These
reports show somewhat of an increase of the
total number of arrests this year as compared
with last. The total number of persons ar¬
raigned before them during last year is 17,089,
as against 15,881 the preceeding year. The
fines and forfeitures accruing tli ere from show
a corresponding increase of about 82.000.
There was a gratifying absence from the
criminal records of our city of crimes and
misdemeanors of the more serious classes, the
majority of the arrests being for minor of¬
fences. Of the total number of arrests 8823
were for drunkenness; 6236 for disorderly con¬
duct, largely due to drinking; 2579 as sus¬
picious persons; 1579 for vagrancy; 1076 for
visiting disorderly houses; 374 for violating
city ordinances; 327 for keeping disorderly
houses; 292 for street wal king; 91 for trespass;
115 for visiting gambling houses; 63 for
corner loafing; 58 for interference with an of¬
ficer ; 30 upon information ; 22 for larceny ; 22
for keeping a gambling house; 34 for incor¬
rigibility ; 39 for exposure; 23 for violating
t he license law ; 12 for malicious mischief; 13
for assault and battery; 12 for cruelty and
neglect, and the others for a variety of minor
offences, In no case amounting to ten arrests
for any one misdemeanor during the year.
The total receipts for the year were 832,390.77,
in which is included 864.00received for lodging
house licenses.

I also submit the report of the General
Ordinance Officer, showing the good results of
the ordinance passed by your honorable
bodies regulating produce and commission
merchants. He makes a strong recommend¬
ation relative to the necessity for further legis¬
lation to insure the accuracy and honesty of
the weights and measures in common use,
which I think you should recommend.

Expressing my appreciation of the cordial
relations which have subsisted between all
the branches of the city government during
the last year, I am

Very respectfully yours,

H. P. Ford,

Mayor.

Pittsburgh, December 28,1898.
Hon. H P. Ford,

Mayor. City of Pittsburgh.

Dear Sir:—I n compliance with law I have
the honor to present to you my annual report
of the Department of Public Safety, showing
the expenditures and receipts for twelve
months prior to December J, 1898,

I also herewith submit a carefully prepared
estimate of the amounts required in the De¬
partment of Public Safety for the incoming
fiscal year.

Owing to the various ordinances passed by
Councils during the year and approved by
your Honor, the salary list of the Department
of Public Safety is increased 849,762.20. Tills
increase provides for twenty-live additional
firemen, and also Includes an increase in the
Bureaus of Health and Police, as well as some
advance In salaries.

Councils also approved contracts nnd au¬
thorized expenditures for the ensuing year
Unit will require 829,611.73. The deficiencies
in the department amount to 89,746 99. These
deficiencies occurred in theJiureausof Health,
Fire and Electricity, caused by the addition
of the Thirty-eighth ward. The Bureau of
Electricity lias for the last eight years had
substantially the same appropriation, to wii,
$38,000, although there has been an increase of
five employes by Councils establishing a di¬
vision of wire inspection, &c. The rapid and
extended growth of the Fast End wards has
been so great that the Bureau of Electricity
lias been utterly unable to supply these wards
with anything like adequate police and fire
alarm boxes and wire for running lines. An
investigation of the items in the Bureau of
Electricity will make this matter clear to
you.

I have attached hereto for your additional
information the communications received
from the various superintendents, which will
aid you in understanding more fully these
estimates.

Myself and superintendents will be pleased
to confer with you personally at any time
you may designate, tn reference to the figures
and items herein set forth.

As I have already stated, these estimates
have been prepared with great care, and I be¬
lieve t hem to be as low as possible consistent
with maintaining the present number of em¬
ployes and efficient service.

The total amount, of money furnished for
the year 1898 was 81.128,869.96, and for the year
1899,81,294,811.56.

Trusting that the statement presented will
meet with your approval and endorsement, I
remain,

Very truly yours,

J. O. Brown,

Pittsburgh, December 15.1898.

Dear Sir;— We herewith submit a detailed
estimate of the amount required to operate
the Bureau of Police for the fiscal year of 1899.
This compilation is based upon the statements
and estimates of the requirements submitted
by the three Inspectors, Accountant, Painter,
Carpenter, Plumber, Veterinary Surgeon,
Physician. Storekeeper and Superintendent of
the Bureau of Electricity.

Our statement is made as follows :

1. The amount estimated for 1898.

2. The estimated requirements for 1899.

3. The amount expended during the past
twelve months, i. e., from December 1, 1897, to
December 1, 1898.

By placing the fifty sub-patrolmen on regular
salary we would increaseou r force numerically
from twelve to fifteen patrolmen. In addition,
it would give us a larger number of men for
special occasions and emergencies, and also
permit the placing of new men under the in¬
struction of old patrolmen and familiarize

285

them with the city before their assignment to
regular police duty.

The earnings of the sub list from December
1. ib97, to December I, 1898, amounted to $31,-
100, and the expense under ttiis new arrange¬
ment would be $335,000,an estimated loss to the
city for the first six months of $1,900. Hut the
Increased number of patrolmen and the in¬
creased efficiency of the men is ample com¬
pensation for the slight extra outlay, and we
very strongly urge that proper legislation be
enacted to put tills system Into operation at
the earliest possible moment for the new fiscal
year.

Respectfully,

A. H. Leslie,

Superintendent Bureau of Police.
Mr. J. O. Brown,

Director Department Public Safety.

Pittsburgh, December 26, 1898.
Mr. J. O. Brown,

Director Department of Pupilc Safety.

Dear Sir:— 1 beg leave to submit an esti¬
mate of theamounts required fbr horses, horse
feed, harness and harness repairs, bedding,
horse shoeing, blankeis, brushes, stable uten¬
sils, etc., lor the year 1899, as follows :

Horses.. $ 14,000 00

Horse feed. 12,040 00

Harness and harness repairs. 1,875 00

Sawdust and bedding. 1,516 00

Horseshoeing. 4,000 00

Blankets, brushes, etc. 375 00

The first item of $14,000for horses may >-eem
extravagant, but such is far from being the
case. It requires 165 head of horses to draw
the different apparatus of the Bureau of Fire.
Allowing the average life of a fire hor-e to be
three (3) years, you can readily see that it will
require fifty-five horses to keep the stock in a
high state of efficiency. Tothisnumber I add
six (6), since it will require that number of
horses to equip the new engine house now in
course of construction. This makes the total
number of horses required sixty-one (61) head.
Should the contract price for horses for the
year 1899 be the same as during the present
year, the amount required will be some little
in excess of the estimate.

Permit me to call your attention to the fact
that the number of horses purchased during
the years 1897 and 1898 was quite insufficient,
and we have been working under some disad¬
vantage.

The item of $12,(M0 for horse feed is based on
an estimated cost of 19 cents per day for the
feed of each horse. 1 know of no individual,
firm or corporation that keeps the same class
of horses in as good condition for such a small
cost per head.

The sum of $1,875 is asked for harness and
harness repairs. During the coming year a
number of sets of i arness, which have been
for a long time In service, will have to be re¬
placed by new sets. It will require, also, three
new double sets for Engine company No. 28.
The above, with the cost of repairing, which
Is alwajs going on, will fully amount to the
gum asked lor, and is somewhat less than the
amount expended during the present year.

The fourth item of $1,516 for sawdust and
horse bedding is based on an estimate of 75
cents per month for each horse. 1 do not see
how this amount could be reduced.

The next estimate, $4,000 for horseshoeing is
a very modest one. By dividing this sum by
the numt er of horses in the bureau, it will
show an average cost per horse for shoeing of
$23.38 per year, (le^-s t han two ($2) per month).
Considering the amount of sharpening done
during Icy weather the estimate is not too
high.

The last Item of $3375 for blankets, brushes,
combs, bandages and stable sundries is not an
extravagant estimate. These are articles in
daily use and wear out quickly.

I have endeavored to keep all of the above
estimates down to the lowest figure in keep¬
ing with good, economical and efficient ser¬
vice, and trust that Councils will see fit to
grant the amounts asked for.

Very respectfully,

J. C. McNeil,

Veterinarian Department of Public Safety.

Pittsburgh, December 15,1898.

J. O. Brown, Esq.,

Director Department Public Safety, City.

Dear Sir:—A ccording to your instructions
I herewith submit an estimate of the amount
necessary to properly run the Bureau of Elec¬
tricity the coming fiscal year.

The salary list is larger than last year on ac¬
count of one more employe being added by
ordinance.

In order to properly provide for what is the
natural growth of the city and the extensions
and additions to this bureau, an increase over
what we were allowed last year will be neces¬
sary.

Within a few years past an entire new di¬
vision has been added, that of electric light
wire inspection, calling for three employes.
Yet there has been no increase in annual esti¬
mate for the last eight years until now.

Respectfully yours,

Morris W. Mead,
Superintendent Bureau of Electricity,

Pittsburgh, December 30, 1898,
Hon. H. P. Ford,

Mayor of the City of Pittsburgh.

Dear Sir I herewith present to you my
annual report of the Department of Public
Works, with the receipts and expenditures
for the first ten months, and an approximate
estimate for December and January, the re¬
maining two months. I also present a care¬
fully prepared estimate of the amount re¬
quired for the department tor the Incoming
year.

Reviewing the reports by bureaus, you will
find that I have asked for an increased
amount in t he Bureaus of Engineering and
Surveys, Light, Parks and Repaving; a re¬
duction in the Bureaus of City Property,
Bridges and Water supply and Distribution,
and an equal amount in the General Office,
Bureau of Water Assessments and Viewers,
or a total increase lOr the department
amounting to $102,305 76.

In the miscellaneous account I have asked
for the rebuilding of the Haight’s run bridge,
Lincoln avenue bridge across Boulevard,
Point bridge, Wiimot street bridge over Junc¬
tion Railroad, {South Main street bridge
and Bond street bridge. I also asked for
these same bridges in my last annual report.
The time has come when either traffic must
be stopped over these bridges or the bridges
rebuilt.

In the Bureau of Engineerir.tr and Surveys
the increased amount is asked for that I may
establish a Bureau of Surveys. The activity
of the real estate market makes it necessary
that we must at once increase the Survey Bu¬
reau, and It will require the amount asked
for.

In the Bureau of City Property the decrease
is largely due to improvements made last
year; the actual running expenses of the bu¬
reau are about the same.

The large reduction In the Bureau of Water
Supply and Distribution is due to the im¬
proved machinery and the saving in the fuel
account.

In the Bureau of Light the Increase is caused
by the improvement of new streets, which re¬
quire light, and the lighting of the new boule¬
vards now completed.

In the Bureau of Parks the increase is due
to the operation and maintenance cf the new
Zoological Gardens, the placing of the South-
side Parks outside of the bond issue and the
purchase of property.

In the schedule for repaving we have In¬
creased the amount, this year $28,775, but in
this Item it is entirely with the members of
Council as to what streets shall be improved.

There are several items that should be pre¬
sented at this time, namely, the rebuilding of
the Tenth street bridge and the construction
of a distributing main from the new reser¬
voir. These items should be provided for by
the issuing of bonds, and I have therefore not
added them to my estimate.

In preparing these estimates I have con¬
sulted with the superintendents of the several

bureaus, and have tried to ask only for
amounts that are actually required to operate
the department.

I will be pleased to have you favorably re¬
commend my estimates to Councils.

Very respectfully,

Edward M. Bigelow,
Director of Department of Public Works.

Pittsburgh, December 23, 1898.
Honorable H. P. Ford,

Mayor of the City of Pittsburgh.

Sir I have the honor to submit herewith
the report of the Department of Charities for
the year ending November 30th, 1898.

Annexed hereto you will find an itemized
statement showing in complete detail the re*
eeipts and disbursements lor the year ending
November 30th, 1898, together with the esti¬
mated receipts and requirements for the fiscal
year beginning February 1st, 1899.

At the present time the department has
under iis care and maintenance 848 persons,
ns follows: 10 at Dixmont Insane Asylum,
ft at State Asylum for the Chronic Insane,
Wernersville; 18 at State Institution for
Feeble Minded, Polk; 10 at Concordia Orphans*
Home, 3 at Home for Colored Children, 348 at
the City Home and Hospitals, Mars ha I sea;
and 454 at the Insane Department of the City
Home. These figures show over the cor¬
responding date of the preceding year a net
increase in all institutions of eleven (11) per
cent. They also show a net increase in all
departments at Marshalsea of iwenty-one (21)
per cent,, and a net increase at the Insane De¬
partment of Marshalsea of twenty-nine (29)
per cent.

The department during the past year fur¬
nished out-door relief as follows: 32,100
bushels of Coal, 1381 pairs of shoes, 494 railroad
tickets and 97 burial orders. The district
physicians attended 1,806 patients, prescribing
and compounding for same 6,381 prescriptions;
making 4,385 home visits and receiving 2,731
office calls. This relief shows a net decrease
of tiie amount expended last year of seven
thousand seven hundred and thirty-six and
68-100(87,736.68) dollars. And it furt her shows
the very gratifying fact, that a large number
of our deserving poor will not ask charity if it
is possible for them to obtain employment
from which they can provide for themselves.

We have estimated the gross necessities for
the coming year at two-hundred sixty-eight
thousand three hundred and eighty-three
(#268,383.00) dollars. Of this sum we ask one
hundred forty-five thousand eight hundred
and eighty-three ($145,883.00) dollars for run¬
ning expenses; four thousand five hundred
(84,500.00) dollars for ordinary improvements,
and one hundred and eighteen thousand
(8118,000.00) dollars for extraordinary improve¬
ments.

The increased amount asked for in running
expenses is caused by the increased number

of people to be cared for. and which will be
barely sufficient to meet the cost thereof.

The amount for permanent improvements
is divided as follows:

Fifty thousand ($50,000.00) dollars for an ad¬
dition to the Male Asylum building, 44 feet x
160 feet ami three stories high; forty thousand
(840.0u0.00) dollars for an addition to the
Female Asylum building, 44 feet x 120 feet-,
and three stories high; eighteen thousand
(818.000.00) dollars for the purchase of ad¬
ditional farm land; and ten thousand ($ 10 , 000 ,-
00 ) dollars lor an addition of lour boilers and
boiler-house.

Of the necessity of the proposed additions to
the asylum buildings your honor, ttie Mayor,
tlie Controller and members of Councils In
their several visits to Marshalsea have had
ocular demonstration. All departments of
the insane asylums are filled to the limit, and
we are apprehensive that before we can finish
the proposed building' we will be troubled to
find coin for. aide quarters for all that will
come to us entitled to admittance.

Of the necessity of acquiring more farm
land Ihavealready enlightened Count iIs. The
amount asked for provides money to pay for
the laud, the purchase of which has been al¬
ready approved, and the additional is for the
purchase of forty-flve (45) acres adjoining the
last piece, which is very desirable and neces¬
sary.

The ten thousand dollars for boilers and
boiler-house is made imperative by reason of
the increase of buildings which now tax our
boilers to their utmost capacity. In cold
weather we have no reserve, and in case of
accident or stoppage of any character we
would be unable to heat and ventilate the
hospitals and asylums, and with the proposed
new buildings added thereto it would he
simply impossible to make comfortably warm
the rooms occupied by the sick and insane.

11 has always been our plan to submit esti¬
mates to cover the exact requirements and
nothing more, leaving it to Councils to say
whether we shall keep adding so as to be able
to care for the unfortunate poor, and in case
of a non-compliance with our demands plac¬
ing the responsibility where it would prop¬
erly belong.

We have separated the extraordinary re¬
quirements so that yourself and Councils may
readily see that the ordinary expenses are
estimated and fixed within the amount ap¬
propriated last year, and that the extraordin¬
ary estimates are matters absolutely neces¬
sary and beyond our ability to control.

The receipts from all sources amount to
forty thousand eight hundred sixty-one and
67-100 (840,661.67) dollars, which deducted from
the amount expended reduces the net cost of
sustaining the department very cosiderably.

In conclusion I beg to say that the requests
for money for the additional buildings may
be considered burdensome; but they are
absolutely necessary, and if oMectlons are
raised on account of increase of taxation.it
would be infinitely better to postpone some
other proposed Improvement not so essential
at the present time than to delay the erection
of these buildings. If such delay should oc¬
cur it would cause suffering and danger from
the tact- that we could not take care of our in¬
sane, and, all other institutions of u like char¬
acter in the neighborhood being filled to over¬
flowing, we would absolutely have no place to
put them, therefore I trust that you will re-

commend and that Councils will grant every
dollar asked for.

Respectfully submitted,

Geo. Booth,

Director Department of Charities.

Board of Assessors, )

Pittsburgh, Pa., December 30, 1898. j

Hon. H. P. Ford,

Mayor.

Dear Sir:—T he Board of Assessors esti¬
mate that it will require $23,500 of an appro¬
priation for the payment of salaries of clerks
and draughtsmen employed in our office
during the ensuing year.

Our reasons in asking for an increase of
money in our appropriation is that we are
preparing new plans and schedules for our
next triennial assessment.

Trusting that the amount named will meet
with your approval, we are,

Very respectfully,

Andrew Fulton,
G. W. Gosser,

Wm. Sprague,
Board of Assessors.

Carnegie Building, >
December 22, 1898. >
Honorable H. P. Ford,

Mayor of the City of Pittsburgh.

Dear Sir:—A s directed by the Board of
Trustees of the Carnegie Library of Pitts¬
burgh, I have \he honor to submit herewith
copies of t he estimates of the various depart¬
ments of the Library, showing in detail the

amounts needed to properly maintain the
main Library Building and Library, and to
maintain, operate and stock the Lawrence-
vlile. West End, Wylie Avenue, Mt. Wash¬
ington and Hazelwood Branch Libraries.
The Board respectfully requests the Councils
of the city to appropriate the total of the esti¬
mates, which amounts to $104,070 60, for the
purposes named above, for the fiscal year be¬
ginning February ], 1899.

The increase over the appropriation of the
preceding years is about $14,000, almost all of
this being required to maintain and stock the
five Branch Libraries above enumerated.

As in former years, the action of the Board
is based <m estimates, copies of which are en¬
closed. These estimates have been carefully
prepared under the supervision of the appro¬
priate committees, and have been presented
to and endorsed by the Executive Committee
and the Board, as required by the by-laws.
The total asked for is apportioned as follows:
Maintenance, Main and
Branch Library buildings.. $27,160 60

Operation and stocking Main
and Branch Libraries—

(a) Salaries and expenses...$38,970 00

(b) Books and periodicals... 33,000 00

-871,970 00

Contingent fund. 5,000 00

Nothing is asked this year for the mainte¬
nance of the Music Hall, as it is now self-sup¬
porting.

Each department has lived strictly within
the appropriation made by the Councils for
the year 1898-9,

Very respectfully yours,

W. N. Frew,

President Board of Trustees Carnegie Library
of Pittsburgh.

December 14, 1898.

To the Library Committee of the Board of
Trustee* :

Gentlemen In accordance with your re¬
quest I submit the following estimate of the
cost of maintaining the Library for the next
fiscal year, from February 1st, 1891), to Janu¬
ary 31st, 1900.

The amount estimated for books, periodi¬
cals. binding ami the smaller items Is the
same as lust year. By careful management
we hope to be able to keep within the amounts
specified for these items. From the amount
appropriated by the Board of Trustees for
books this year we have bought the necessary
books to stock three branch libraries—Lasv-
rcnceville. West End, and Wylie Avenue—be¬
sides making very substantial additions to the
collection at the Central Library. The same
amount for books next year will enable us fo
make proper additions to the collections at
the Central Library and the three brunches
mentioned, and also buy enough books to
open two additional branches. The amount
required for slocking new branches is greater
than that required for yearly additions.
Jience, the amounts estimated for the two
additional branches are greater than for those
whose initial stock is purchased Ironi this
year’s appropriation.

The amount estimated for salaries for the
present year proved to be loo small to meet
the requirements. The estimate was made
with the idea that only one branch library
was to be provided for from this year’s appro¬
priation. But we bought the books to open
two more blanches, and this entailed a great
deal of work not contemplated iD my estimate
of lost year. The present staff Is not. sufficient
for the work to be done. It should be remem¬
bered that all the books for the branch librar¬
ies are selected, purchased, recorded, classi¬
fied, catalogued, and made ready for the
public by ihe staff at the Central Library.
Moreover, the registering of borrowers and
other clerical work for the branches is done
by the Central siaff. So that we estimate that
from 58,000 to 810,000 of the amount asked for
salaries at the Central Library is really for
branch library work. During the present
year the Central staff has been overwhelmed
with the volume of work. Besides adminis¬
tering the collections already on hand, and
serving the public, which comes to the library
in increasing numbers, over 25,000 volumes
have been added during the year and made
ready for use. This means a tremendous
amount of woik. And this work cannot be
done properly during the coming year for less
than the amount estimated above.

The estimates for salaries for the three
branch libraries Is based upon our experience
at Lawrencevlllc. These estimates are for a
full year at Lawrenceville and the West End.
The latter branch we expect to open to the
public on February 1st. The Wyiie Avenue
Branch will not be ready till spring, and we
have estimated for only ten months.

The entire amount estimated for salaries is
less than that devoted to this purpose in any
library in Mils country doing work of the
same scope and character. It provides for
sixty-two employes at an average monthly
salary of about $44.

Respectfully submitted,

E. H. ANDERSON,
Librarian.

January 31, 1899, the receipts from rentals will
equal the running exp ‘nses. so that there will
be no call on the appropriation of 81,500.00. 1
had expected the hall to make even abetter
showing, but owing to the discontinuance of '
the Star Course entertainments, we lose in the j
fiscal year of 1898-99 $000.00 that 1 had counted ;
upon, while there have been unexpected ex- I
penses In the care of the organ, amounting to |
several hundred dollars, uot counted upon at j
the beginning of the year.

Because of this showing for 1898-99, and on |
account of the increasing popularity of the
hall, I believe that for the fiscal year begin¬
ning February 1,1899, the receipts from rentals
will equal the running expenses, and that
there will be no need of an emergency appro¬
priation.

Very respectfully yours, |

G. H. Wiuson,
Manager.

Pittsburgh, January 3, 1899.
Hon. H. P. Ford,

Mayor of City of Pittsburgh,

8ir:— I respectfully submit my report f the
Department of Ordinance Officers. Since the
ordinance was passed regulating the produce
dealers there has been twelve thousand nine
hundred dollars ($12,900) collected for licenses.
I find great trouble In regulating the peddlers
They have been giving short measure and
violating the law In every way. In 1895 a law
was passed by the Legislature giving the Gov¬
ernor power to appoint Inspectors of Weights
and Measures on the recommendation of the
County Commissioners, the Secretary of In¬
ternal Affairs lo furnish test weights and
measures for Inspectors. The Legislature
neglected or refused lo appropriate money for
the purchase of the same, and the law was
never put in force. Something should be
done to remedy this evil, as the residents of
Pittsburgh suffer daily.

Yours respectfully,

R. H. Lindsay,
General Ordinance Officer.

CONTROLLER'S OFFICE.

Pittsburgh, January 3, 1899.
Hon. H. P. Ford,

general amounts estimated, as required, to
meet the expenses chargeable to the follow¬

ing appropriations:

No provision was made last year to¬
ward the redemption of $250,000 Mon¬
ongahela Bridge Bonds, which are
due in 1900, the payment of which
was assumed by the city at the time
of the purchase of the Smithfield

The apparent increase in appropriation No.

wn« a balance remaining to the credit of that
appropriation at the beginning of last year,
which amount was deducted from the es'i-
rnate at that time, and by reason of the addi¬
tional ordinance officers In your department.

Pittsburgh. Pa., February 6, 1899. /

To the Presidents and Members of the Select and

Common Councils of the City of Pittsburgh.

Gentlemen I have the honor to transmit
herewith the final report of the committee
appointed in pursuance of a resolution of
your honorable bodies, to inquire into the
necessity and cost of a filtration plant for the
public water supply of the City of Pittsburgh.

Trusting that it may have such consider¬
ation and respect as the grave importance of
the subject, and the faithful and self sacrific¬
ing labors of the committee (often to the
serious inconvenience of its members In their

F ersonal affairs) should deserve at your band,
am,

Very respectfully yours,

H. P. Ford,
Mayor.

Which was read, received and filed.

No. 618.

2 b the Presidents and Members of the Select and
Common Councils of the City of Pittsburgh'.

Gentlemen:—I n pursuance of iheauihority
given by an ordinunce approved June 10, J896,
the undersigned were appointed as an Inves¬
tigating body, charged with the loilowing du¬
ties :

1. To thoroughly Investigate the character
of the present water supply of the City of
Pittsburgh in its relation to public health.

321

2. To ascertain the effect of sand filtration.

3. To ascertain the advisability of establish¬
ing a sand filtration plant for the City of Pitts¬
burgh.

4. To present an estimate of tTie cost of
establishing and maintaining the same.

5. To invesl Igate the feasibility and advisa¬
bility of seeking other sources of supply.

6. To report its findings and recommenda¬
tions, together with such evidence as may be
useful, for the guidance of the Councils of the
City of Pittsburgh In acting prudently and for
the best public interest In this matter.

The constitutionality of the legislation un¬
der which we had been appointed having
been affirmed by the proper legal authorities,
an organization was effected on July 6,1800, by
the election of Mr. Robert Pitcairn as Chair¬
man, Mr. William MeConway as Vice Chair¬
man and Mr. Geo. L. Holliday ns Secretary.

A Committee upon Methods of Procedure,
consisting of Dr. W. J. Holland, Chairman;
Dr. J. R. Vincent and Hon. William Fiinn,
was appointed at the first meeting, and, in ac¬
cordance with the recommendations of this
committee, certain phases of tlie questions
proposed to us for consideration were assigned
to the general oversight of special sub-coin-
mil tees, the Chairman appointing them, as
follows:

ON WATER ANALYSIS.

Dr. W. .J. Holland, Chairman ;

Dr. J. Guy McCandless,

Dr. J. R. Vincent.

ON GENERAL INFORMATION.

Mr. William Met Jon way, Chairman ;
Hon. H. P. Ford,

Mr, Geo. L. Holliday,

ON SOU HOPS OF SUPPLY OTHER THAN THE
PK IS ENT.

Hon. William Fiinn, Chairman ;

Mr. E. M. Bigelow,

Mr. S. D. Warmcasile,

Mr. James M. Bailey,

As the result, of frequent conferences and
preliminary investigat ions it was decided that
in order to carry out the instructions con¬
tained in the ordinance it would be necessary
to employ the services of competent experts to
investigate, under the general direction of the
commission, the various problems which
might present Ihemselves.

Accordingly, with ttie consent and sanction
of your honorable bodies, the commission se¬
cured the services of the following persons;

As Consulting Engineer, Mr. Allen Huzen,
of New York City.

As Resident Engineer, Mr. Morris Knowles,
of Lawrence, Mass.

As Chemist, Walther Riddle, Fh. D., of the
City of Pittsburgh.

As Bacteriologist, Mr. Wm. U. Copeland, of
Lawrence, Mass.

Subsequent! v, as the necessity for increasing
the force was shown, a number of other per¬
sons were employed to assist in the prosecu¬
tion of the labor of in vest) gat ion.

The commission has held seventy sessions,
at which reports of progress were regularly
submitted by tlie Resident Engineer. Various
questions coming up from time to time for
consideration were discussed and reports were
submitted, when called for, by the standing

committees and by special committees, which
were from time to time appointed. The com¬
mission, as a body, on November 11, 1896, vis¬
ited i he city of Lawrence, Mass., for the pur¬
pose of thoroughly inspecting the flit ration
beds in operation in that city, and on their re¬
turn devoted a day in the city of New York to
the inspection of certain plants engaged in
mechanically filtering private water supplies.
On April 19 and 20, 1898, the chairman of the
com mission, accompanied by the chairman of
the Committee on Water Analysis, the Mayor
of Pittsburgh and the Resident Engineer, vis¬
ited tlie cities of Louisville, Ky., and Cincin¬
nati, Ohio, for the purpose of carefully investi¬
gating the methods and results of the exten¬
sive experimental plants established in these
cities, and also visited the city of Covington,
Kv., and carefully examined the water works
of that municipality. Availing themselves of
the opportunities of foreign travel, several
members of the commission visited and care¬
fully inspected filtration plants on the other
side of the Atianti •. Mr. Win. MeConway
visited ttie filtration beds and the sewage
treatment plants of London, England. Hon.
William Fiinn visited the filtration plant at
Hamburg. Germany. Dr. W. J, Holland vis¬
ited the filtration plants of London, Paris,
Antwerp, Bremen. Hamburg and Berlin. Mr.
K. M, Bigelow visited the filtration plant at
Hamburg. All of these gentlemen reported to
the commission the results of their observa¬
tions. Thegentlemen of the commission have
borne all expenses involved in visits paid to
other localities, whether in this country or
abroad, w it bout recourse to the funds placed
at the disposal of the commission.

THE CHARACTER OF THE PREENT WATER SUP¬
PLY OF THE CITY OF PITTSBURGH IN
RELATION TO PUBLIC HEALTH.

We find that the present water-supply is ob¬
jectionable, fit si. on account of the mud which
it. frequent ly carries, and secondly, because of
its pollution by sewage. An ocular inspec¬
tion of the Allegheny and Monommhela rivers
and their main tributaries, made under the
direction of the commission, reveals ilie fact
that from the very summit of the mountains
to the intakes all are more or less contami¬
nated by sewage, and the reports of the Bac¬
teriologist of the commission show the pres¬
ence of bacteria in objectionable quantities,
both in the river water and in the tap water
as delivered.

Your commission has arrived at the con¬
clusion that, with the proper filtration of the
water supplies furnished to the people, water
borne diseases, which are so prevalent, in tills
community, would, undoubtedly, be greatly
lessened. If in addition, more stringent regu¬
lations against the sale of infected milk and
ice were enacted and enforced, and the use of
water from springs and wells and of unpuri¬
fied supplies of water in mills and factories
were prevented, they would be almost wholly
eradicated, except as t lie result of secondary
infection irom cases imported into the com¬
munity.

THE EFFECT OF SAND-FILTRATION.

Elaborate experiments extending over a
period of time of sufficient length to show the
effee s of filtration upon the water of the Alle¬
gheny river in all seasons and at all stages
* have been carried on, as is detailed at length
in t he reports hereto appended. (Hee Exhibits
2, 4 and 5). These investigations show the en¬
tire feasibility of so treating the water by
several methods as to remove both the mud

322

and the deleterious vegetable growths con¬
tained therein.

Of the various methods of filtration which
have been examined two have proved them¬
selves efficient, the method of mechanical fil¬
tration and the method of sand-filtration.
The latter which has been extensively em¬
ployed for many years past in Europe and
also in this country, has yielded upon the
whole somewhat better results than the form¬
er As is fully set forth in the reports of the
experts employed by the commission, and as
Is shown in the tables which are hereto ap¬
pended, the method of sand-filtration not
only yields a supply of water free from mud
and and objectionable bacterial life, but also
furnishes a supply of water of a quality adapt¬
ed to mechanical purposes, suited to the uses
of industrial istablishments. An investiga¬
tion of this latter phase of the question was
undertaken under the instruction of this
body, and the results are hereto appended.
(See chapter VI of Exhibit 4.)

THE ADVISABILITY OF ESTABLISHING A
SAND-FILTRATION PLANT FOR THE
CITY OF PITTSBURGH.

We find that Is in the highest degree desir¬
able that the water supplied to a great muni¬
cipality like Pittsburgh should be clear and
free from object ionable matter, as well as of
sufficient softness to permit of its use for do¬
mestic and mechanical purposes, and, as it is
possible to furnish such a supply by one or
the other of two methods, the problem re¬
solves Itself into the question which of the
two is, on the whole, better adapted for the
public service, taking into account:

(a) Comparative cost.

(b) Efficiency.

(c) Durability, as evidenced by its probable
freedom from decay or wear and consequent
necessity for repairs.

(d) Simplicity of operation.

(a) Cost. If a conclusion were to be ar
rived at upon a consideration of initial cost ,
alone, the decision would doubtless be
prompt. While the cost of bare construction
difi'ers but slightly as between the two plans,
the cost of lhe larger body of land, required
for the sand-filtration plant, would be deter¬
minative in favor of mechanical filtration,
were other things equal.

lb) Effiency. An examination of the
relative efficiency of I he two methods, in the
light of actual experiment, shows that so far
as the removal of bacteria from the water is
concerned the sand-filter leaves but little to
be desired. In addition to bacterial efficiency,
and somewhat important, Is the question of
tin* adaptability of the effluent for steaming
purposes. The effluent which yields a mini¬
mum of scale formation, and shows 1:0 cor¬
rosive action upon the points in the boiler
generally first exposed to attack, is, all other
things being equal, to be preferred. We find
that the weight of evidence, obtained by ex¬
periment, is in favor of sand-filtration, so far
as efficiency in this respect is concerned.

(c) Durability. There being in the sand-
fliters practically no metallic material except
valves and connecting piping, common to
both systems, it may be said to be subject to
deterioration only by actual abandonment; by
decay, never. In some of the filtration plants
visited by members of this board are found
sections in operation and as sound as though
built but yesterday, which have already done

service for forty years, and bid fair to render
efficient service for many times lids period.
No plant built under I be plan of mechanical
filtration could be expected to yield such re¬
sults. All mechanical devices are subject to
rapid deterioration through wearand tear. It
is generally assumed by careful manufactur¬
ers that the life of a machine in constant use
does not exceed ten years. This being the
case, the finding as to the question of dura¬
bility is decidedly in favor of the system of
sand-filtration.

td) Simplicity of operation. In oper¬
ating a plant of sucli magnitude as will be re¬
quired to provide a full supply of pure water
to this large and growing city it is of the first
importance lodo it on such lines as not. to re¬
quire, necessarily, the higher grades of tech¬
nical skill on the part of a large proportion of
the operatives. The sand-filter meets this re¬
quirement. to such an extent ns to be fairly
considered ideal. When properly const ructed,
slight neglects and errors of Judgmeni, on the
part of workmen cannot damage the water.
With any filter using coagulant the conditions
are different; nice Judgment is required to de¬
termine from day to day, and at times from
hour to hour, the required quantity of that
coagulant, and if there be not the proper
quantity of lime In the water, initially, that
must be provided also. The report of the
Consulting Engineer, (Exhibit 2), presents the
detail of the operation in such full form, that
your commission thinks it proper to call your
attention to this feature, and urge a careful
study of the same. The choice lies between a
system, which, when properly constructed,
cannot furnish impure water, except as the
result of wilful neglect, and one which can
furnish pure water, but wieh can also, when
caiclessly or ignorantly handled, easily pro¬
duce water unfit lor domestic or mechanical
use. The weight of evidence is found by the
commission to be decidedly In favor of sand-
filtration, so far as simplicity of operation is
concerned.

The fact that no patents and consequent
charges on this account, are to be met In case
of the use of sand-fillers, is an additional con¬
sideration which has had weight with us In
reaching a conclusion to recommend the use
of sand-filters. Finally the fact that
sand-filters have been in successful use In
England and on the Continent of Europe for
more than lorty years and are employed by
more than thirty of the great transatlantic
municipalities; among them, being London,
Berlin, Hamburg, Bremen, and the suburbs
of Paris, with unvarying satisfaction, is a cir¬
cumstance which has had great weight with
us.

In view of all the foregoing considerations
we find the adoption of the system of saud-
flltratiou to be most advisable.

the cost of establishing and maintain¬
ing A SYSTEM OF SAND-FILTRATION.

We find that, the cost of the construction of
sand-filters with sedimentation-basins and
all accessories complete may be estimated at
$1,691,000. To th-s should be added the cost of
the necessary land. Should the land cost
$420,000, the total estimated cosi will be $2,111,-
000. The cost of maintenance In the case of
sand-filters with sedimentalion-basins, pro¬
viding 50,000,000 of gallons daily, would
amount, according to the figures submitted
by our Consulting Engineer, to $192,1S4.00, or a
cost of $10.53 per million gallons. This esti¬
mate includes interest, depreciation, and all
operating expenses.

THE FEASIBILITY AND ADVISABILITY OF
SEEKING OTHER SOURCES
OF SUPPLY.

The results of our Investigation In reference
to tills matter are set forth fn full in the report
of the Consulting Engineer. (Exhibit 2), and
In the report of Mr. Emil Kuicbllng, C. E., of
Rochester, N, (Exhibit 3), who was em¬
ployed to make a full examination into the
feasibility of introducing a water supply from
the water-shed of Indian Creek. We find that
the initial cost of introducing a supply from
tills source, which appears to oe most availa¬
ble of ull sources of gravity supply, would be
thirteen and a half millions of dollars, and the
expense of the undertakes, together with the
uncertainty of being able, except at a vast ad¬
ditional expense, of adding to this supply after
the lapse of a comparatively short time, make
the project one to which we cannot set the seal
of our approval.

We have examined into the question of fur¬
nishing a supply of potable water for house¬
hold consumption separate from the supply
furnished to mills and factories, but find that
tlie consumption of water by the mills and
factories Is not great enough to justify the
large expense t hat would be Involved in pro¬
viding pipes to convey separate supplies, and
we deem it, furthermore, eminently desirable,
inasmuch as water Is freely used In the mills
and factories for drinking purposes, that the
supply of water furnished these establish¬
ments should be of a good character from a
sanitary standpoint. For these two reasons
we cannot recommend a separation of the two
supplies.

We conclude as the result of careful investi¬
gations that the city is now wasting more
than twice as much water as It uses. We find
that the experience of other cities reveals that
the introduction of a system of sale by meter
has the result of greatly reducing the waste,
and we strongly recommend the adoption of
the meter system for l he sale of water. We
believe that the introduction of the use of
meters will prevent waste to such a material
extent as to greatly lessen the cost, alike of
the establishment of a system of filtration and
its subsequent operation, and possibly, to
make it feasible from a plant of the size sug¬
gested in the report of the Consulting En¬
gineer, to supply not only the portions of the
city now using the water of the Allegheny,
but those also which are drawing their supply
from the Monongahela.

We recommend, in conclusion, that the
City of Pittsburgh adopt for Its water supply
the system of sand-fill ration, upon the plan
recommended herewith In the report of our
Consulting Engineer, and that the system of
selling water by meter be likewise adopted.
For the erection of a filtration plant approxi¬
mately $1,700,000 will be required; to provide
the necessary site $500,000 should be amply
sufficient, to establish the meter system will
require an additional outlay of $600,000, We
recommend that your honorable bodies make
provision for an Issue of bonds for these pur¬
poses to the amount of $3,000,000, the bonds to
be Issued by the proper authorities as they
may be required, and no more to be issued
than are actually required to provide for the
establishment -of a system of filtering and
metering the water supplied to the city. In
recommending an is*ue of bonds to the
amount of $-1,000,000 we have allowed $200,uoo
for contingencies, which might but are un¬
likely to arise, and we believe that the sums
above named will be quite sufficient to make
it sure that all the water supplied the mu-

nicipalty will be wholesome, as it certainly
will be clear and free from mud.

Mr. Pitcairn stated

That everything that really could be
said was said in the report of the Commission
and the different sub-reports.

Mr. Ilitthnin asked

the benefits of sand filtration to the South
Side district.

Mr. Pitcairn replied

That the Commission took into con¬
sideration that the plant was necessary for
the whole Pittsburgh district, including the
South Side.

Mr. Pedder asked

If the proposed plant would cover the
wants of the Greater Pittsburgh.

Mr. Pitcairn replied

That the plans were for a plant to
supply 50,000,000 gallons of water daily, but
that the plant could be so arranged that it
could be extended and accomodate all of
Allegheny county.

Mr. Pedder asked

“Is the amount of money asked for
large enough? v

Mr. Pitcairn replied

That that was a matter for future con¬
sideration. He said that the detailed report

Pittsburgh, Pa., February 6.1899.

To the Honorable City Councils , Pittsburgh, Pa:

Gentlemen ;—We respectfully call your at¬
tention to our claims to clarify and purify the
city water supply of Pittsburgh. We are now
erecting a plant of 250,000 gallons daily capac¬
ity at Cincinnati, Ohio, which is under the
supervision of the Honorable Board of Water
Commissioners for a practicable demonstra¬
tion of our claims. The test will run 30 days
from the 15th inst.

Our claims are:

First. The cheapness of the installation of
the works.

Second. The small area of ground required
for the works.

Third. The simplicity of our system, and
the ease with which it can be operated.

Fourth. The large savings mode in the non
use of sulphate of alumina or sulphate of iron.

Fifth. The large saving made in the com¬
paratively small quantity of watei used to
wash out our filters.

Sixth. The saving which we make in the
cost of labor to operate the works.

Seventh. The high degree of purity obtain¬
ed.

We claim the cost per million gallons puri¬
fied will not exceed ($8.50) tinee dollars and
fifty cents per million.

We would respectfully suggest an investiga¬
tion of our system In actual operation. The
Honorable Hoard of Water Commissioners, at
Cincinnati, will determine the essential
points by actual test. The condition of (he
crude water, the condition ufter It lias passed
through our filter system, and the coat per
million gallons.

Respectfully.

To the Honorable the Councils of Pittsburgh :

The petition of Joseph Forsythe, a resident
citizen of said city, respectfully representing:

That he acquired from John R. Large and
Nancy Barge, his wife, by deed dated Febru¬
ary 18th, 1893, not registered or recorded, a cer¬
tain lot, namely. No. 76 in John Brown’s plan,
in the Twenty-seventh ward of said city,
situate on the south side of Wade street,
between German square and Lauer alley, and
fronting 20 feet on Wade street, and extend¬
ing hack southwardly preserving the same
width, 100 feet, more or less.

That said lot is on the side of a very steep
hill, is traversed by a water course running
from Washington avenue over the surface
thereof, which should be carried off by a

341

proper city sewer; that it Is assessed by the
city for taxation, as shown by the certificate
hereto attached, at one hundred dollars.

That owing to the depression in real estate,
and particularly to the existence of said water
course over said premises, A. P. Norton, a
real estate man, now deceased, who under¬
took to sell same, was unable to do so, and
during the long delay petitioner forgot and
neglected to pay the taxes thereon.

That the laxes and collectors’ commissions
accumulated thereon, as shown by annexed
certificate, the aggregate sum of 812.92, that for
lour years the average of said taxes was 82.84
each year, that for each of said four years liens
were entered, each costing 83.25, and writs of
scire facias were issued at an additional cost
of 88.75 each, thus burdening said property
with 812 costs for each 82.84 of tax and collec¬
tor’s commission, and accumulation of costs,
which amounts to a practical confiscation
before the taxes accumulate the minimum
sum of 820.00, for which the property can be
sold.

That all of said liens might have been em¬
braced in one writ of scire facias without pre¬
judice to the rights of a city, and to the sav¬
ing of the cost of three writs of scire facias to
petitioners.

That in response to an offer of $100 for said
lot, petitioners offered to hike that sum for it,
subject to the payment of taxes, which was
refused.

Your petitioners therefore prays your hon¬
orable Councils to grant him relief by abate¬
ment of the costs of said three unnecessary
writs of scire facias, to wit: in the sum of $26.-
75, leaving the cost of one writ of scare facias
and all the other of said costs untouched, and
for such other or furl her relief as to you shall
seem meet. And iie will ever pray, etc.

Joseph Foksytiie.

Allegheny County, \

City of Pittsburgh, J bS *

Joseph Forsythe, the petitioner within
named, being duly sworn, says that the facts
set forth in his said petition are true, to the
best of his knowledge and belief.

and he is hereby authorized to accept the
proposition hereto attached, from the Pitts¬
burgh Testing Laboratory, Limited, for the
inspection and testing of the material and
construction of a 48-inch riveted steel rising
main.

Pittsburgh, January II, 1899.

Dictated by A. B. B.

Mu. A. B. Shepherd,

Superintendent Water Supply and
Distribution, Pittsburgh, Pa.

Dear Sir:—I n accordance with your re¬
quest we take phasure in making you the fol¬
lowing proposition for the mill and shop In¬
spection of your new riveted steel rising main,
in strict accordance with your specifications
for the same:

PHYSICAL INSPECTION.

Mill inspection ....25 cts. per ton

Shop inspection...35 cts. per ton

Total.. 60 cts. per ton

CHEMICAL INSPECTION.

One determination phosphorus, each

melt...$1 00

One determination sulphur, each melt..... 1 00
One determination manganese,each melt 75
One determination carbon, each melt. 25

Complete chemical analysis, total per
inelt .$3 00

In explanation of the above we would re¬
spectfully state that in case this work is

placed in our hands we will promptly make
the mill inspection of I he plates, making all
physical tests as called for by the specifica¬
tions, and inspecting the plates on both sides
for surface defects, for depth and also for
gage, placing our idem ideation stamp in two
places In the middle of the plate, emially dis¬
tant from the end so that when the plate Is
rolled into u section the melt number will ap¬
pear twice with our acceptance mark, so that
in case it becomes necessary for the reldenti-
ficatlon of this plate either In the shop or
trench there will be no trouble In finding
these marks.

Your specifications call for phosphorus, sul¬
phur, carbon and manganese to be determined
Independently of the rolling mill. We will
select actual strips rom the plate, or prefer¬
ably take the ends of the test pieces, and take
our drillings from these, making an analysis
upon the same for each melt. The mill
makes their analysis upon the laddie test.
This analysis will show whatever segregation
there may be. and will be made in this man¬
ner rather than taking the duplicate drillings
from the ladle test.

In Ihe shop inspection we agree to place our
Mr. John H. Rial upon the work, who has
had large experience in steel riveted pipe and
work of this class. He will spend such por¬
tion of his time (the whole of it if necessary)
as the work requires, in order to see that the
laying-oft, punching, scarfing, rolling, as¬
sembling, riveting and dipping are watched,
atid the whole seen to be in accordance with
your specifications.

The coating will receive special attention to
see that the same is thoroughly applied and is
put on in such a manner that it will prove as
effective as possible In resisting corrosion.

Mill reports will be sent you promptly as
made, and you will receive weekly reports,
or, if you desire, bi-weekly or tri-weekly re-

K rts of the condition of ihe work at the shop.

short, we will give this work careful and
conscientious attention.

Hoping you may see your way clear to plac¬
ing it in our hands, we are
Yours truly,

Pittsburgh Testing Laboratory, Ltd.
a. B. Bellow,

Manager.

C. C. No £37.

Pittsburgh, March 1,1891).

To the Finance Committee of the Councils of the
City of Pittsburgh:

We herewith transmit for your considera¬
tion. Ordinances ms king appropriations and
levying taxes for the year 1809.

The total levy for the year 1899 am¬
ounts to..$0,16-1,210 80

The total levy for the .year 1808
amounted to .5,797,138 30

Making an apparent Increase of $36(5,078 41

This Increase is the result of the approprfa-
Hon of $309,345.00 for the payment of assess¬
ments against the city, most, of which have
already been seitled, and on the opposite side
will be an estimated revenue sufficient to
cover the full amount. This is done for the
purpose of enabling the Controller and City
Treasurer to close these accounts, so that they
will not appear in the annual report of the
Controller after this year.

The items of increase are as follows:

In the salary account. ...$ 4,400 00

In Hie Department of Safety. 97,640 00

In the Department of Public Works.. 51.975 00

In the Department of Charities. 32,700 00

Iu tiie Department of Education. 74,200 00

In the Board of Assessors. 5,000 00

In the Carnegie library.... 14,000 00

In the printing. 7,000 00

Firemen’s Relief and Benevolent So¬
ciety. 78 41

$280,993 41

The items of decrease are as follows:

Interest and taxes against thecity.$ 72,500 00

Judgments... 254,210 00

Interest on contracts. 2,750 00

Contingent fund .’ 20.000 00

Finance fund. . 900 00

Water filtration. 5,000 U0

Sewering and repaving Cherry alley, 2.900 00

$358,260 00

There are also tiie following new Items:

Lots in Thirty-second and Thirty-sev¬

enth ward.4 for engine houses ... . $ JJ,500 00
Extension of Woodvale avenue

sewer. 1,500 00

New bridges.... 25,000 00

These several Items, viz.:

Decreases. 358,260 00

Increases. 324,993 41

Making a net decrease in the ac¬
tual appropriations of..$ 33,206 59

These deducted from the item of

$399,345.00, which is the appropria¬
tion for claims against, the city,
will leave a tier, increase, as above
stated, of. 366,078 41

The decrease in interest account is the result
of an accumulation of money heretofore ap¬

propriated for the payment of Interest, and
which still remains in the ireasury.

The Item of salaries increase is brought
about by the advance in salaries, as well as
the employment of several parties in the vari¬
ous departments, as per ordinances.

The Kinking Fund appropriation remains
the same as last year,and lias been found am¬
ple to cover the requirements of the laws in
regard to the liquidation of our debt.

In the Department of Public Safety tiie in¬
crease is necessary because of the installment,
of several new engine companies, as well as
from tiie fact that there lias been an increase
in the number of employes.

In the Department of Public Works there
have been decreases in several of the bureaus,
while the amounts appropriated for public
parks, public light and street repaving have
had to be largely augmented because of tiie
fact that in the past two years less money has
been appropriated for these bureaus, and con¬
sequently much work has to be done.

The increase in the Department of Charities
is for the purpose of the land purchase author¬
ized by Councils, as well as the beginning of
tiie erection of (wo additions to the Insane
Department, and which are actually necessary
on account of the overcrowded conditions of
the buildings now used lor the insane.

The amount asked for by the Central Board
of Education is, first, for the increased num¬
ber of teachers that have to be paid, as well us
llie item of $50,000.00 as a fund for Hie erection
of the new High Kebool in the East End.

The decrease in judgments is brought about
by tiie large appropriation made last, year,
which nearly, if not. altogether, cleared the
records up to that time.

The sum named for this year will not be
sufficient to liquidate all the judgments of
record, but thos* remaining were obtained
during the month of January, 1899, and can,
without detriment to the city, be included in
the next annual appropriation.

The item of interest on contracts decreased
Is because of a large balance remaining in that
fund.

The increase In the Board of Assessors is
brought about, by the fact that that, bureau has
now under way the plans and maps for the
next triennial assessment.

The increase asked for by tiie managers of
the Carnegie library is the result of opening
tin* West End library, and al«o because of the
presentation to the Central library of the
Patent Office Reports of Great Britain, which
require to be bound, and as they are a very
valuable addition to tfie library, will be worth
tiie cos!.

Tiie small decrease in tiie Finance Fund is
the result of a clerical error in last year’s Ap¬
propriation Ordinance, the intention being to
give lhem just the amount appropriated this
year, but by some mishap the $'^00.00 was added
ami Is therefore taken off in tills Appropria¬
tion Ordinance.

The increase in printing is made necessary
b 3 * tiie larger number of ordinances having to
be printed and published, and will bare]}’
cover the additional cost for the current year.

The decrease In the Item of water filtration
is brought, about by the Commission having
finished their work,and this money is to print
their findings and pay some bills Iroin last
year.

Your committee, in considering the Appro¬
priation Ordinance, have left out several

Items requested by the beads of departments,
for the reason that the work proposed to be
done by the moneys asked for will, in the
Judgment of your committee, be more prop¬
erly paid out ol ihe proceeds of bonds which
will most likely be issued in the near future.
These items are entirely of a permanent char¬
acter—t tie reconstruction of the Tenth Street
and Point bridges, a (Id It Ions to park property,
and the building of the additions to the Insane
Department at Marshal sea.

The City Controller reports a deficit In in¬
come amounting to $1,<1114,015.66. This is hat a
alight increase over that reported to your body
during 180S. To provide for the payment of
these claims we have in the hands of the De¬
linquent Tax Collector $1.200,454.29. There is
In the hands of the City Attorney claims due
the city amounting to $070 000.00. out of which
he should be able to collect t he sum of $286,-
912.09, which would provide for the payment
of the outstanding warrants, and supply the
money to liquidate the balances remaining in
the appropriation for 1898.

We can only repeat what we said In the sub¬
mission to your body of the ordinance for 1898,
t hat we believe at the close of the fiscal year
the city will show but a very small lack of
income sufficient to pay all its debts. Each
department in tlie past year, over which the
city officers had control, showed increases,
and with a return of belter limes, we think
the payment of taxes to the city will be a
much larger percentage of the levy than for
many years past.

tion; has increased in territory; has achieved
municipal greatness and renown; and has be¬

der; grand and extensive boulevards; a sewer

attained such renown: when its present Is so
satisfactory and its future so brilliant with
promise.

Third. That we respectfully, but earnestly,
request the Legislature of Pennsylvania to

Pittsburgh, Pa., March 27,1899.
To the President and Members of Select Council
of the City of Pittsburgh:

Gentjlemen:— The people of Pittsburgh
having by their votes at the recent municipal
election seen fit to choose me to fill the office
of Mayor of this great and prosperous city of
ours, for the coming three years, an honor
which I esteem very highly, it becomes in¬
cumbent upon me to tender my resignation
as a member of Select Council from the Nine¬
teen! h ward, to take effect at once. It is with
feelings ot sincere regret that I am thus com¬
pelled to sever my connection with your
honorable body. Although that connection
is but of a year’s standing. It has been an ex¬
tremely pleasant one for me, and in stepping
from your ranks lo assume the responsibili¬
ties of the office which my fellow-citizens
have so kindly called me to, I can assure you
that I carry with me to my new duiies recol¬
lections of wtiat will ever be to me one of the
pleasantest years of my life, a year mat I
shall always look back upon with the mi st
pleasurable retrospection, for the valuable
friendships it has brought me.

Rut in separating from you 1 sincerely hope
It will be only an official separation, and that
I shall still retain ihe kindly relations and
the pleasant friendships which l have formed
during my term of service with you in this

392

chamber, and that nothing will occur to in
tiie least disturb them, for they are, I assure
you, very precious to me. In culling me to
the office of Mayor, I cannot but feel that the
people of Pittsburgh have not alone highly
honored my humble self, but have likewise
conferred an honor upon and paid a high
complement to Select Council by choosing as
their chief magistrate a sitting member of
this body.

In leaving Select Council I desire to extend
to vou, Mr. President, and to every member
of the body, my warmest thanks for the many
courtesies and kindly favors that I have re¬
ceived at your hands, amt at the same time
ask only that your kind wishes for success in
meeting my new responsibilities go with me,
as my beet wishes for continued health and
prosperity, I leave with you.

Very respectfully yours,

W. J. Diehi,.

REPORT

OF THE

FILTRATION COMMISSION

OF THE

CITY OF PITTSBURGH,

PENNSYLVANIA,

JANUARY, 1899.

Whereas, Recent advancement in sanitation is in the direction of agitation for
the filtration of public water supplies to remove the pollution, which comes from the
increase of population along the banks of the supplying streams; and,

Whereas, Investigations and experiments in this direction, while limited in
practical operations to but one city in this country, have, nevertheless, progressed
far enough to command the careful consideration of a progressive city such as
Pittsburgh; therefore,

Resolved, That a commission be created, of which the Mayor of the city and the
Presidents of the Councils and eight representative citizens and tax payers to be
appointed by the Mayor shall be members, at least two of whom shall be physicians
of recognized standing:

Resolved further, That it shall be the duty of this commission to thoroughly
investigate as to the character of our present water supply in its relation to public
health, the effect of sand filtration and the advisability of establishing a sand filtra¬
tion plant for the city of Pittsburgh, with an estimate of the cost of establishing and
maintaining the same; and also to investigate the feasibility and advisability of
seeking other sources of supply. And the commission shall report its findings and
recommendations together with such evidence as may be useful for the guidance of
these Councils in acting prudently and for the best public interest in this matter.

In Councils, June 8, 1896; Rule suspended, read three times and finally passed.

To the Presidents and Members of the Select and Com¬
mon Councils of the City of Pittsburgh :

Gentlemen :—

In pursuance of the authority given by an ordinance approved June
10, 1896, the undersigned were appointed as an investigating body,
charged with the following duties:—

1. To thoroughly investigate the character of the present water
supply of the city of Pittsburgh in its relation to public health.

2. To ascertain the effect of sand filtration.

3. To ascertain the advisability of establishing a sand filtration plant
for the city of Pittsburgh.

4. To present an estimate of the cost of establishing and maintain¬
ing the same.

5. To investigate the feasibility and advisability of seeking other
sources of supply.

6. To report its findings and recommendations, together with such
evidence as may be useful for the guidance of the Councils of the city
of Pittsburgh, in acting prudently and for the best public interest in
this matter.

The constitutionality of the legislation under which we had been ap
pointed having been affirmed by the proper legal authorities, an organiza¬
tion was effected on July 6, 1896, by the election of Mr. Robert Pitcairn
as Chairman, Mr. William McConway as Vice-Chairman, and Mr. Geo.
L. Holliday as Secretary.

A committee upon Methods of Procedure, consisting of Dr. W. J
Holland, Chairman, Dr. J. R. Vincent and Hon. William Flinn, was ap¬
pointed at the first meeting, and, in accordance with the recommendations
of this committee, certain phases of the questions proposed to us for con¬
sideration were assigned to the general oversight of special sub-commit-
tees ; the Chairman appointing them as follows:—

On Water Analysis;

Mr! Jas. M. Bailey.

As the result of frequent conferences and preliminary investigations
it was decided that in order to carry out the instructions contained in the
ordinance it would be necessary to employ the services of competent ex¬
perts to investigate, under the general direction of the Commission, the
various problems which might present themselves.

Accordingly, with the consent and sanction of your Honorable
Codies, the Commission secured the services of the following per¬
sons :—

As Consulting Engineer, Mr. Allen Hazen, of New York City.

As Resident Engineer, Mr. Morris Knowles, of Lawrence, Mass.

As Chemist, Walther Riddle, Ph.D., of the City of Pittsburgh.

As Bacteriologist, Mr. Wm. R. Copeland, of Lawrence, Mass.

Subsequently, as the necessity for increasing the force was shown,
a number of other persons were employed to assist in the prosecution of
the labor of investigation.

The Commission has held seventy sessions, at which reports of pro¬
gress were regularly submitted by the Resident Engineer. Various
questions coming up from time to time for consideration were discussed
and reports were submitted, when called for, by the standing committees
and by special committees, which were from time to time appointed. The
Commission as a body, on November n, 1896, visited the city of Law¬
rence, Mass., for the purpose of inspecting the filtration beds
in operation in that city, and on their return, devoted a day in the city
of New York to the inspection of certain plants engaged in mechanically
filtering private water supplies. On April 19 and 20, 1898, the Chairman
of the Commission, accompanied by the Chairman of the Committee on
Water Analysis, the Mayor of Pittsburgh, and the Resident Engineer,
visited the cities of Louisville, Ky., and Cincinnati, Ohio, for the purpose
of investigating the methods and results of the extensive ex¬
perimental plants established in these cities, and also visited the city of
Covington, Ky., and examined the water works of that munici¬
pality. Availing themselves of the opportunities of foreign travel, several
members of the Commission visited and carefully inspected filtration
plants on the other side of the Atlantic. Mr. Wm.McConway visited the

filtration beds and the sewage treatment plants of London, England.
Hon. William Flinn visited the filtration plant of Hamburg, Germany.
Dr. W. J. Holland visited the filtration plants of London, Paris, Antwerp,
Bremen, Hamburg, and Berlin. Mr. E. M. Bigelow visited the filtration
plant at Hamburg. All of these gentlemen reported to the Commission
the results of their observations. The members of the Commission
have borne all expenses involved in visits paid to other localities, whether
in this country or abroad, without recourse to the funds placed at the
disposal of the Commission.

THE CHARACTER OF THE PRESENT WATER SUPPLY OF THE CITY OF PITTSBURGH
IN ITS RELATION TO PUBLIC HEALTH.

We find that the present water supply is objectionable, first on account
of the mud which it frequently carries, and secondly, because of its pollu¬
tion by sewage. An ocular inspection of the Allegheny and Mononga-
hela Rivers and their main tributaries, made under the direction of the
Commission, reveals the fact that from the very summit of the mountains
to the intakes all are more or less contaminated by sewage, and the re¬
ports of the Bacteriologist of the Commission show the presence of bac¬
teria in objectionable quantities, both in the river water and in the tap-
water as delivered.

Your Commission has arrived at the conclusion that with
the proper filtration of the water supplies furnished to the
people, water-borne diseases, which are so prevalent in this community,
would, undoubtedly, be greatly lessened. If, in addition, more stringent
regulations against the sale of infected milk and ice were enacted and
enforced, and the use of water from springs and wells and of unpurified
supplies of water in mills and factories were prevented, they would be
almost wholly eradicated, except as the result of secondary infection
from cases imported into the community.

THE EFFECT OF SAND FILTRATION.

Elaborate experiments extending over a period of time of sufficient
length to show the effects of filtration upon the water of the Allegheny
River in all seasons and at all stages have been carried on, as is detailed
at length in the reports hereto appended, (See Exhibits 2, 4, and 5).
These investigations show the entire feasibility of so treating the water
by several methods as to remove both the mud and the deleterious vege¬
table growths contained therein.

Of the various methods of filtration which have been examined two
have proved themselves efficient, the method of mechanical filtration and
the method of sand filtration. The latter, which has been extensively

4

REPORT OP FIT.TR.VriON COMMISSION.

employed for many years past in Europe and also in this country, has
yielded upon the whole somewhat better results than the former. As is
fully set forth in the reports of the experts employed by the Commission,
and as is shown in the tables which are thereto appended, the method of
sand filtration not only yields a supply of water free front mud and objec¬
tionable bacterial life, but also furnishes a supply of water of a quality
adapted to mechanical purposes, suited to the uses of industrial establish¬
ments. An investigation of this latter phase of the question was under¬
taken under the instruction of this body, and the results are hereto
appended. (See Chapter VI, of Exhibit 4).

the advisability of establishing a sand filtration plant for the city

OF PITTSBURGH.

. We find that it is in the highest degree desirable that the water sup¬
plied to a great municipality like Pittsburgh should be clear and free
from objectionable matter, as well as of sufficient softness to permit of
its use for domestic and mechanical purposes, and, as it is possible to
furnish such a supply by one or the other of two methods the problem
resolves itself into the question, which of the two is, on the whole, better
adapted for the public service; taking into account:—

(a) Comparative cost.

(b) Efficiency.

(c) Durability, as evidenced by its probable freedom from decay or

wear and consequent necessity for repairs.

(d) Simplicity of operation.

Comparative Cost.

If a conclusion were to be arrived at upon a consideration of initial
cost, alone, the decision would doubtless be prompt. While the cost of
bare construction differs but slightly as between the two plans, the cost
of the larger body of land, required for the sand filtration plant, would
be determinative, in favor of mechanical filtration, were other things
equal.

Efficiency.

An examination of the relative efficiency of the two methods, in the
light of actual experiment, shows that so far as the removal of bacteria
from the water is concerned the sand filter leaves but little to be desired.
In addition to bacterial efficiency and somewhat important, is the ques¬
tion of the adaptability of the effluent for steaming purposes. The
effluent which yields a minimum scale formation, and shows no corro¬
sive action upon the points in a boiler generally first exposed to at-

ADVIHAHILITY OP KKTAIII,INKING A SAND FILTRATION PLANT.

5

tack, is, all other things being equal, to be preferred. We find that the
. weight of evidence, obtained by experiment, is in favor of sand filtration;
so far as efficiency in this respect is concerned.

Durability.

There being .in the sand filters practically no metallic material ex¬
cept valves and connecting piping, common to both systems, it may be
said to be subject to deterioration only by actual abandonment; by de¬
cay, never. In some of the filtration plants, visited by members of this
board, are found sections in operation and as sound as though built but
yesterday, which have already done service for forty years, and bid fair to
render efficient service for many times this period. No plant built un¬
der the plan of mechanical filtration could be expected to yield such re¬
sults. All mechanical devices are subject to rapid deterioration through
wear and tear. It is generally assumed by careful manufacturers that
the life of a machine in constant use does not exceed ten years. This
being the case, the finding as to the question of durability is decidedly in
favor of the system of sand filtration.

Simplicity of Operation.

In operating a plant of such magnitude as will be required to provide a
full supply of pure water to this large and growing city it is of the first
importance to do it on~such lines as not to require, necessarily, the higher
grades of technical skill on the part of a large proportion of the operatives.
The sand filter meets this requirement to such an extent as to be fairly
considered ideal. When properly constructed, slight neglects and errors
of judgment on the part of workmen cannot damage the water. With any
filterusingcoagulantthe conditions are different; nice judgment is required
to determine from day to day, and at times from hour to hour, the required
quantity of that coagulant, and if there be not the proper quantity of lime
in the water, initially, that must also be provided. The report of the
Consulting Engineer (Exhibit 2) presents the detail of the operation in
such full form that your Commission thinks it proper to call your attention
to this feature and urge a careful study of the same. The choice lies between
a system, which, when properly constructed, cannot furnish impure water,
except as the result of wilful neglect, and one which can furnish pure
water, but which can also, when carelessly or ignorantly handled, easily
produce water unfit for domestic or mechanical use. The weight of evi¬
dence is found by the Commission to be decidedly in favor of sand filtra¬
tion, so far as simplicity of operation is concerned.

The facts that no patents and consequent charges on this account are
to be met in case of the use of sand filters, is an additional consideration

6

REFORT OF FILTRATION COMMISSION,

which has had weight with us in reaching a conclusion to recommend
the use of sand filters. Finally the fact that the sand filters have been in
sucessful use in England and on the continent of Europe for more than
forty years and are employed by more than thirty of the great trans¬
atlantic municipalities; among them, being London, Berlin, Hamburg,
Bremen, and the suburbs of Paris, with unvarying satisfaction, is a cir¬
cumstance which has had great weight with us.

In view of all the foregoing considerations we find the adoption of
the system of sand filtration to be the most advisable.

THE COST OF ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING A SYSTEM OF SAND FILTRATION.

We find that the cost of construction of sand filters with sedimen¬
tation basins and all accessories complete may be estimated at $1,691,000.
To this should be added the cost of the necessary land. Should the land
cost $420,000, the total estimated cost will be $2,111,000. The cost of
maintenance in the case of sand filters with sedimentation basins, pro¬
viding 50,000,000 of gallons daily, would amount, according to the figures
submitted by our Consulting Engineer, to $192,184, of a cost of $10.53
per million gallons. This estimate includes interest, depreciation, and all
operating expenses.

THE FEASIBILITY AND ADVISABILITY OF SEEKING OTHER SOURCES OF SUPPLY.

The results of our investigation in reference to this matter are set
forth in full in the report of the Consulting Engineer (Exhibit 2), and in
the report of Mr. Emil Kuichling, C. E., of Rochester, N. Y. (Exhibit 3),
who was employed to make a full examination into the feasibility of intro¬
ducing a water supply from the water-shed of Indian Creek. We find that
the initial cost of introducing a supply from this source, which appears to
be the most available of all sources of gravity supply, would be thirteen
and a half millions of dollars, and the expense of the undertaking, together
with the uncertainty of being able, except at a vast additional expense, of
adding to this supply after the lapse of a comparatively short time, make
the project one to which we cannot set the seal of our approval.

Auxiliary Supply.

We have examined into the question of furnishing a supply of potable
water for household consumption separate from the supply furnished to
mills and factories, but find that the consumption of water by the mills
and factories is not great enough to justify the large expense that
would be involved in providing pipes to convey separate supplies,

CONCLUSION.

7

and we deem it, furthermore, eminently desirable, inasmuch as
water is freely used in the mills and factories for drinking purposes, that
the supply of water furnished these establishments should be of a good
character from a sanitary standpoint. For these two reasons we cannot
recommend a sparatio'n of the two supplies.

Use of Meters.

We conclude as the result of careful investigations that the city is
now wasting more than twice as much water as it uses. We find that
the experience of other cities reveals that the introduction of a system of
sale by meter has the result of greatly reducing the waste, and we strongly
recommend the adoption of the meter system for the sale of water. We
believe that the introduction of the use of meters will prevent waste to such
a material extent as to greatly lessen the cost, alike of the establishment
of a system of filtration and its subsequent operation, and possibly to make
it feasible, from a plant of the size suggested in the report of the Con¬
sulting Engineer to supply, not only the portions of the city now using
water of the Allegheny, but those also which are drawing their supply
from the Monongahela.

Conclusion.

We recommend, in conclusion, that the city of Pittsburgh adopt, for
its water supply, the system of sand filtration upon the plan recommended
herewith in the report of our Consulting Engineer, and that the system
of selling water by meter be likewise adopted. For the erection of a filtra¬
tion plant approximately $1,700,000 will be required; to provide the neces¬
sary site $500,000 should be amply sufficient; to establish the meter system
will require an additional outlay of $600,000. We recommend that your
Honorable Bodies make provision for an issue of bonds for these purposes
to the amount of $3,000,000, the bonds to be issued by the proper authori¬
ties as they may be required, and no more to be issued than are actually
required to provide for the establishment of a system of filtering and meter¬
ing the water supplied to the city. In recommending an issue of bonds
to the amount of $3,000,000 we have allowed $200,000 for contingencies,
which might, but are unlikely to, arise, and we believe that the sums
above named will be quite sufficient to make it sure that all the water
supplied the municipality will be wholesome, as it certainly will be clear
and free from mud.

Sir :—

In accordance with your instructions, I have made a thorough investi¬
gation of the probable sources of typhoid fever in Pittsburgh, and have
the honor to respectfully submit herewith a formal report upon the same
I have followed as closely as possible in making this report the lines
along which I proceeded in making a preliminary report to the Commis¬
sioners, when I personally appeared before them in September. It will
appear from what follows that such investigations and studies as I have
been able to make in the interval, support the conclusions and strengthen
the opinions which I laid before the Commission at that time.

TYPHOID FEVER HAS BEEN THE CAUSE OF MANY DEATHS
AND IS CONSTANTLY PRESENT IN PITTSBURGH.

The vital statistics of Pittsburgh show conclusively that typhoid fever
has for many years been an important factor in the death rate of the city.
During the past decade it has been the assigned cause of 2,245 deaths, an
average of 224.5 deaths per annum. During these last ten years, and
probably for a very much longer period, Pittsburgh has never been
wholly free from typhoid fever, but on the contrary most of the time has
contained a large number of cases; for at no time within the last ten
years have there been fewer than four deaths per month attributed to this
disease, while the monthly average has been very much larger, namely,
18.7 deaths. These figures mean that during the last decade there have
been in the city of Pittsburgh very rarely, if ever, at any one time, fewer
than one or two score of cases of typhoid fever, while there has been on
the whole a probable average of between 150 and 200 cases at any given
time. .

It is Excessive in Amount.

The average annual number of deaths in Pittsburgh during the last
ten years (1888-1897) is 224.5 and the (estimated) population in 1895 was
275,000. During the same period the average annual number in Boston
was much smaller (158.9) with a population much larger, viz: in 1895,
496,620. For the same period in New York, the figures are: population
in 1895 ; 1,669,801—the average number of deaths from typhoid fever per
annum, 352.2 Otherwise stated this means a rate per annum per 100,000
inhabitants, of 21.0 in New York City, 31.9 in Boston, and 81.6 in Pitts¬
burgh. These figures show conclusively that the amount of typhoid fever

THE SOURCES OF TYPHOID FEVER IN PITTSUURGH.

in Pittsburgh is excessive, and as I believe it is admitted on all sides that
such is the fact, I shall not dwell further upon this aspect of the subject.

the sources of typhoid fever in cities.

It is now everywhere admitted that typhoid fever does not arise
spontaneously but comes only from antecedent cases of the same disease
from which it is conveyed in various ways to fresh victims. The medium
of communication in these cases is often spoken of as the “vehicle” of
the disease, and the following are some of the principal vehicles by which
it is so conveyed:

1. Water Supply.

2. Milk Supply.

j. Ice Step ply.

4. Secondary Infection or Contagion.

j. Infected Uncooked Food, such as Oysters, Vegetables, Fruits, etc.

6. Atmospheric Dust.

Any or all of these vehicles may be the immediate sources of typhoid
fever in a city; the remote source in all cases being understood to be
the body of a patient affected with the disease. In searching for the causes
of the excess of typhoid fever in Pittsburgh, we must naturally consider
in detail each of these several possible sources, and we may do this taking
them up in the reverse order to that in which they have just been enumer¬
ated.

Atmospheric Dust.

In any city in which typhoid fever is abundant it must be allowed that
there may be a continuance of the disease for a time, owing to the causa¬
tion of a certain number of secondary cases through the medium of
atmospheric dust, especially if disinfection is not very thoroughly carried
out for the primary cases.

The present state of our knowledge, however, in regard to the dis¬
semination of typhoid fever by means of dust is not such as to allow us to
attribute to this source any considerable number of cases and we need
not hesitate to dismiss this as in any great degree an adequate explanation
of, although it may well be a contributory cause to, the sum total of typhoid
fever in Pittsburgh.

Infected Uncooked Food, (Oysters, Vegetables, Fruits, Etc.)

It is generally held by sanitarians that uncooked food, especially
such as has been handled by various people, and, in particular, raw oysters
which may have been cultivated in sewage-polluted waters; lettuce which
may have been watered with impure liquids; celery which may have been

manured with night-soil and afterwards imperfectly cleaned for the table;
or fruits, such as cherries, grapes, apples, pears, peaches, berries and the
like which are often handled by unclean persons and then eaten without
having been thoroughly washed, may readily be vehicles of the germs of
typhoid fever. I have not, however, been able to discover that Pittsburgh
is peculiar in any of these respects'funless possibly it may be in the con¬
sumption of raw oysters brought from sources, the precise sanitary con¬
dition of which is not known), and I do not believe, therefore, than any
considerable proportion of the total typhoid fever of Pittsburgh can be
charged to these sources, although it should never be forgotten that thev
may be important contributory factors in a case like this and, in cities
having only a small amount of the disease, may even be the principal
factors. Special attention has lately been drawn by armv officials to the
probable importance of flies as bearers of infection from excreta to articles
of food which are afterwards eaten raw; but even allowing this to be true
it does not suffice to explain the peculiar state of affairs in respect to
typhoid fever in Pittsburgh.

Against the supposition that the food supply as described is respon¬
sible to any considerable extent for the typhoid fever in Pittsburgh is
the notable fact that the cases appear to be, on the whole, quite evenly
distributed according to population throughout the city. .These facts
do not support the view that the disease has its origin in infected
foods, for any general infection of the entire food supply of the city cannot
well be supposed to be constantly recurring.

Secondary Infection or Contagion.

It is otherwise as regards the part probably played by secondary in¬
fection or contagion. Contrary to the popular belief, typhoid fever is, in
a true sense, a contagious disease, although far less so than the more
eruptive diseases such as scarlet fever, measles, small-pox, and also prob¬
ably much less contagious than certain other diseases such as diphtheria.
When, therefore, there is for any reason a considerable number of cases
of typhoid fever in any city or town, it follows almost inevitably that there
will be a considerable number of cases secondary to these and derived
from them, which will form another important contributory factor in
making up the sum total to be found during any considerable period. I
have examined carefully the reports of cases on filein the Bureau of Health
and have satisfied myself that Pittsburgh forms no exception to this general
rule; for a considerable number of cases appear upon the books which are
plainly secondary to other cases, and I am informed by prominent phy¬
sicians that such examples are by no means rare. This factor, however,
like those which have already been discussed, would, in itself, be of small

14

moment if there were no primary and more permanent causes making up
the principal part of the total.

Ice Supply.

Although it is customary for sanitarians to turn to the ice supply of
cities as an important source of typhoid fever, the latest and most trust¬
worthy investigations on this subject do not support the idea that any
considerable number of cases, even in a large city using a comparatively
impure ice supply, can be traced to this source, and it is a remarkable and
important fact that no epidemic or other excess of typhoid fever has ever
yet been indisputably traced to infected ice. Moreover, inasmuch as
artificial ice, made from distilled water, is almost exclusively used in Pitts¬
burgh for household purposes, it is altogether improbable that any excess
of typhoid fever could come from this source; but, at the same time, as
the use of pond or lake ice is not prohibited, it is very likely that the
latter is used occasionally. Accordingly, while it is possible that a few
out of the large number of cases in Pittsburgh can be charged to this
source, I do not believe that any considerable number has come from
impure ice and we may properly consider this factor as perhaps con¬
tributory to, but cannot possibly regard it as the principal cause of, the
large amount of typhoid fever constantly present in Pittsburgh.

Milk Supply.

Within the last score of years a large number of cases of typhoid fever
in various parts of the world have been traced in the most positive manner
to polluted and infected milk supplies, and no fact in sanitary science is
better established than that milk infected with typhoid fever is not only
comparatively speaking, common, but also highly effective as a vehicle
of this disease. I have inquired carefully in regard to the milk supply of
Pittsburgh, and I am of the opinion that in all probability a certain amount
of the typhoid fever which prevails in this city, and has prevailed for
many years, may reasonably be attributed to infected milk.

At the same time, epidemics due to infected milk are always occasional
and sporadic, not constant and general, and it is a well-known character¬
istic of typhoid fever due to milk supplies that the disease appears in
special areas with marked violence only for a limited time. It is, therefore,
quite clear that while the milk supply may have been, and probably has
been, an important contributory cause to the sum total of typhoid fever
in Pittsburgh, it is manifestly not the principal cause, which must be
something constant and general, instead of occasional and sporadic.

The Public Water Supply.

There remains for consideration only one important source of typhoid
fever in cities, namely, the public water supply; and, inasmuch as by ex-

THE PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY.

16

elusion we have determined that the other principal sources of typhoid
fever in cities are here inadequate to furnish any sufficient explanation
of the typhoid fever which is so constantly and so excessively prevalent
in Pittsburgh, we shall need to give to the public water supply the most
careful consideration.

It is well known to your Honorable Board that Pittsburgh is provided
with two principal sources of supply, namely, the Allegheny and Mononga-
hela Rivers, and that most of the supply is derived from the Allegheny,
In both cases the water which is delivered to the citizens is drawn directly
from the river without filtration or other purification of any sort, then
immediately pumped to distributing reservoirs and from these quickly
sent all over the city.

From the standpoint of modern sanitary science, this procedure
is prima facie most objectionable, inasmuch as the delivery to the people
of unpurified river water is nowadays everywhere regarded as extremely
dangerous, such water has been too often found to be a fruitful
source of typhoid fever and kindred diseases. In the present instance,
however, it will not suffice to rely simply on the facts just stated, straight¬
way concluding that we have in the public water supply an all-sufficient
explanation of the constant and excessive amount of typhoid fever in
Pittsburgh. We cannot indeed escape the natural suspicion that this may
be true; but before coming to any final conclusion in regard to a matter
necessarily so complex and obscure as the sources of typhoid fever in a
great city, we must first examine closely all the evidence in hand, and
especially local conditions, in order to verify any preliminary conclusions
which may be reached; and this all the more, because such conclusions
may involve important changes in public policy and the expenditure of
large sums of public money.

THE WATER SUPPLY DERIVED FROM THE MONONGAHELA RIVER.

The water of the Monongahela River is used by a limited portion only
of the city, namely, that lying upon the south side of the same river and
including wards Twenty-four to Thirty-eight inclusive, with the exception
of ward Thirty-seven. The total estimated population of these wards
for 1897 is about 78,000, that is to say, about one-fourth of the whole
population. In addition to the urban population using this water, it is fur¬
nished to about twenty-five thousand people living in the boroughs
immediately adjacent to the city.

The Monongahela River and its upper affluents, rising in the exten¬
sive forests of West Virginia, flows for the greater part of its course
though a sparsely inhabited region, and, owing to the fact that it has been
slack-watered over almost its entire course, the process of sedimentation
goes on extensively, so that it might furnish an admirable water supply

10

were it not for the fact that in its lower reaches it is heavily contaminated
by sewage. The sewers of the city of McKeesport, of the boroughs of
Homestead, Itraddock, Duqucsiic, and other lesser places, all empty into
the river above the intake of the Monongahcla Water Company, and as
the growth of the population in these towns and city is rapidly in¬
creasing, it is presumable that the amount of sewage emptied into the Mo¬
nongahcla River is destined likewise to increase. I am of the opinion that
the general use of this contaminated water is in itself alone an adequate
explanation of the great amount of typhoid fever which has at times
prevailed on the South Side. This conclusion is confirmed by the results
obtained by the bacteriologist of your Commission, Mr. Win. R. Copeland,
who has found repeatedly in his examinations of the tap water derived
from the Monongahcla, as well as in the river itself, large numbers of
bacteria. Inasmuch, therefore, as micro-organisms abound in the river
water, the latter is presumptively the ready vehicle for the specific germs
of typhoid fever which we have every reason to believe enter the river from
time to time with the sewage which it so freely receives in its lower reaches.

In the absence of any other adequate explanation for the typhoid
fever constantly recurring on the South Side, and in the presence of a
simple and sufficient explanation in the consumption by the people of river
water unpurified and polluted with sewage, I have no hesitation in affirm¬
ing that it is probably the water supply which is the principal source of the
typhoid fever of the South Side.

Furthermore, we must not overlook the fact that when any part of a
community is supplied with infected water, other parts, and possibly all
parts, may also suffer from it. If, for example, a dweller on the north side
works in a mill or a house on the South Side, or even only visits there,
he or she may, by drinking infected water on that side, become infected
and, returning home, not only suffer from the disease but also become a
center of infection and cause others on the north side to suffer likewise.

THE WATER SUPPLY DERIVED FROM THE ALLEGHENY RIVER.

In the case of the Allegheny, which supplies the principal portion of
Pittsburgh, namely, that part of it lying between the two rivers and includ¬
ing the great mass of the population, the case is by no means at first
sight so clear. The Allegheny drains a very extensive, and not very thickly
inhabited, water-shed and much of the population is at a considerable dis¬
tance from the intake. Nevertheless, the water thus derived is still a river
water, wholly unpurified, except for such sedimentation and other im¬
provement as occurs in the distributing reservoirs; and a close examination
of the character and sanitary condition of the water, and the water-shed,
of the Allegheny River, '■specially in the light of modem sanitary science,
is not reassuring.

It was tor a long time Ixdicvcd, even by engineers and sanitarians that
“running water purifies itself." The facts ujion which this thesis rested
were the obvious disappearance of gross pollution, introduced at a given
point in a stream, at points below, and chemical evidence that water drawn
at such lower points was less polluted than at the place of contamina-
tion. Trusting in this principle, and following the advice of the best
engineers of the time, numerous cities and towns, Pittsburgh among the
number, introduced systems of water supply derived directly, and without
any attempt at purification, from rivers and other streams into which, at
points above, more or less of sewage and other polluting materials were
freely admitted. Very early, however, it began to be discovered that the
purification, which was so obvious on inspection and was further demon¬
strable by chemical analysis, was, from the sanitary point of view, incom¬
plete and insufficient. As long ago as 1874 the Rivers Pollution Com¬
missioners of the British Government, after careful investigation, conclud¬
ed that, “there is no river in the United Kingdom long enough to secure the
oxidation and destruction of any sewage which may be discharged into it,
even at its source.” From that day until the present it has gradually
become more and more clear that such purification as takes place is largely,
if not almost wholly, a purification by dilution, and that many of the dan¬
gerous elements, especially micro-organisms, once admitted, are not in fact
removed, but only scattered in a running stream or river. At the same
time, it has also gradually become plain that sedimentation and the destruc¬
tion of micro-organisms by various agencies are more completely effected
in standing, than in moving water; so that modern sanitary science
has reversed the tenet of thirty years ago and now unhesitatingly affirms
that it is quiet water rather than running water that “purifies itself.” As
a corollary of this modern doctrine, which is supported by an over¬
whelming mass of evidence, it follows as a matter of course that those
citicsandtownswhich,trustingintheearlier teaching, unwisely introduced
systems of supply yielding water drawn, unpurified, directly from swiftly
running streams, are now finding themselves in an unfortunate predica¬
ment; for in many of them it has been discovered that typhoid fever and
kindred diseases are alarmingly abundant and the conclusion is natural—
inevitable even—that in all probability the excess of typhoid fever from
which many of them suffer is due to their use of unpurified, sewage-
polluted, river water. In some cases, to be sure, it appears that cities and
towns so situated do not suffer excessively from this disease, but when this
is the case it will generally be found to be true that certain local conditions,
readily discoverable, explain their apparent immunity.

We may now proceed to a Retailed consideration of the character of
the Allegheny River and the water-shed from which it is derived in order
to discover, if possible, whether or not the conditions which prevail in this

18

THE SOURCES OF TYPHOID FEVER IN PITTSBURGH.

case are such as to favor immunity from, or the prevalence of, typhoid
fever among those to whom the water is distributed. Before doing this,
however, it will be well to enumerate those conditions which, in general,
favor and those which hinder the self-purification of streams. The princi¬
pal condition favoring self-purification is, as has been stated above,
quiescence; and closely connected with this condition is the element of
time, because quiescence is merely a relative term. It is conceivable that
water might be kept quiet for only a few minutes with very little
advantage,—for a few minutes or even a considerable portion of an hour,
without any appreciable purification by sedimentation, or by the germicidal
action of light, or by other influences tending toward sanitary improvement
The time eiement is also important because there is reason to believe that
the germs of typhoid fever do not ordinarily multiply in natural waters, at
least in northern latitudes, but, instead, gradually die out. Other things
equal, therefore, a slow and quiet stream is comparatively well adapted
for self-purification. Other factors of consequence in a case of this kind
are the population upon the water-shed,—whether abundant or scanty,—
its character, whether gathered in towns and villages or sparsely distrib¬
uted over a great area in the form of rural population; and, in general,
as has frequently been claimed, the proximity or remoteness of such popu¬
lation. We may now examine one by one these items which together go to
make up the character of a river water, and inquire more precisely as to
the conditions which prevail upon the stream in question, viz., the Alle¬
gheny River.

THE ALLEGHENY RIVER IS A RAPID STREAM WITH LITTLE OR NO
, OPPORTUNITY FOR SELF-PURIFICATION.

Any one who will take the trouble to follow the Allegheny River from
Oil City to Pittsburgh, merely as a passenger on the Allegheny Valley
Railway, particularly if he is familiar with the streams in the less mountain¬
ous parts of the country, cannot fail to be impressed immediately with the
fact that we have in the Allegheny River a peculiar and characteristic
stream. Owing no doubt to the character of the rock through which it has
cut its way, it exhibits a very regular decline from Oil City to Pittsburgh.
There is no mill-dam of any consequence between these two cities and the
river is therefore not, as is frequentlythecase with rivers in New England
and elsewhere a series of mill-ponds, containing slowly-moving water,
and in which the elements of sluggishness and quiescence are, except in
periods of freshet, the chief characteristics; but rather, even at low water,
like a brawling brook making its way rapidly over a stony bed in which are
very few pools or other quiet places adapted 10 purification; in which there
is little or no evidence of effective sedimentation,—as is proved by the
absence of mud-banks, sand-bars, and the like,—but exhibiting everywhere

19

stones polished by the swiftly-flowing stream, and without effective lodg¬
ing places for mud or bacteria. An estimate, roughly made, of the rate of
flow shows to the traveler a probable velocity in most places of at least a
foot per second, and often much more than this, even at low water. With
high water the velocity must obviously be much more rapid. Clearly,
the two fundamental elements looking towards self-purification in rivers
are here wanting, namely, time and quiescence. The velocity of the river
and the character of its bed are such that foul water introduced, for
example, at Oil City, or nearer points, may, and indeed must, arrive at
Pittsburgh within a very few hours. Fortunately, however, we do not have
to rely on the rough observations of passing travelers but are in posses¬
sion of authoritative calculation. According to results obtained from the
United States Engineer’s Office in Pittsburgh, the average velocity of the
Allegheny River, even during low water, is from one to two miles per hour.
During high water it is from seven to eight miles per hour and on the
average about thre£ and one-half miles. This means that infectious
materials poured in at Oil City or nearer points may arrive at Brilliant
within fifteen hours and even at low water must arrive within a few
days.

It has just been shown that in the bed of the Allegheny River very
little or no opportunity occurs for purification en route by the usual pro¬
cesses which are more or less effective in rivers, so that the only question
that now remains.is, may it not be true that the typhoid germs, if present,
die out in the relatively unfavorable environment which the river water
supplies? In answer to this question it need only be said that the life of the
typhoid germ in water, while it has been variously determined, is without
question capable of extending over a considerably greater period than that
required for the water of the Allegheny to pass even from remote points on
the water-shed to the intake of the Pittsburgh Water Works at Brilliant,
so that there seems to be no escape from the conclusion that typhoid fever
infection introduced, even at remote points, may and often must be de¬
livered to the citizens of Pittsburgh in an active and virulent condition.
Oil City is distant from Pittsburgh (according to the United States Engin¬
eers) 113 miles. But such is the peculiar character of the river and such
the character of the water-shed, that infection introduced at much more
remote points than Oil City may, in my opinion, be actively dangerous
to the health of Pittsburgh. I have never seen a river so well adapted in
every respect to the swift conveyance of microscopical impurities from
great distances.

As to the water-shed, it is hardly necessary to do more than to point
out that the Allegheny valley in which the river and the railroad run is
essentially a cutting or canon, having steep sides and constituting what
may be called a “quick-spilling” water-shed; in other words, given a

20

THE SOURCES OF TYPHOID FEVER IN PITTSBURGH.

heavy shower or sudden fall of rain, the latter finds its way down the sides
of the valley, almost immediately, into the river, naturally carrying with
it as a vehicle whatever portable material it encounters. It follows as a
matter of course that whatever infectious materials may be deposited on the
surface of this valley may readily find their way into the river, and from
what has been said above, be quickly delivered to the pumping station at
Brilliant.

In effect, therefore, although the greater part of the population on
the water-shed of the Allegheny is quite remote and at most not very
large, the element of distance appears to be neutralized in this case by the
peculiar character of the stream, and the result is the same as if a consider¬
able polluting population were located just above the intake at Brilliant. It
is difficult to exaggerate the importance of this peculiar condition of
things; for it means that even a small contamination, though at a great
distance, may bear fruit almost immediately in an increased mortality of
the citizens of Pittsburgh.

It is well known that a relatively small infection of a water supply
with typhoid fever germs may under special circumstances be highly
effective. The great epidemic at Lowell and Lawrence, Mass., in 1890-91,
was traced to a relatively small infection of a relatively insignificant feeder
of the Merrimac River, from which the water supply of these cities was
derived. In that case the germs of the disease passing out of the little
feeder appeared to have mingled with the relatively large mass of water
of the Merrimac River and to have found their way to the intake pipe,
on the opposite side of the river, some three miles below. The ele¬
ment of proximity was there undoubtedly important because the Merri¬
mac River is in effect a series of mill-ponds, the particular pond which
was infected being some sixteen miles in length and affording at low
water, abundant opportunity for sedimentation and other factors oi
self-purification. In the case of the Allegheny River, a similarly small infec¬
tion washed in from the water-shed by a heavy shower, or finding its
way in at any point on the main river or its larger tributaries, in the ab¬
sence of any similar mill-pond features, and in the presence of a swiftly
flowing stream, must be carried rapidly to the intake at Brilliant in a
relatively fresh and virulent condition.

We have then obviously, in the case of the Allegheny River, a
vehicle highly favorable for the conveyance of typhoid fever germs
from almost any point upon the water-shed, however remote; and this
is particularly the case whenever a heavy rainfall occurs, causing the
river to rise and making it muddy. The mud in the river is familiar
and visible evidence of the efficiency of the stream as a carrier of dirt
and debris. But there is other and still more valuable evidence, name¬
ly, that supplied by bacteriology. The experienced Bacteriologist of

your Commission, Mr. Copeland, has from the beginning of the inves¬
tigations kept close watch of the bacterial characteristics of the water of
the Allegheny, not only as it arrives at the pumping station at Brilliant,
but also during its brief stay in the reservoirs, and as it is drawn from the
service pipes by the citizens; and his results show conclusively, not only
that the Allegheny is a highly effective vehicle of bacteria,—which
abound in its too-often turbid waters,—but also that particular kinds of
bacteria are generally present whiph point unmistakably towards ex¬
tensive sewage pollution. Among the myriads of ordinary bacteria of
earth, air, water, and animal intestines, present in sewage, those of ty¬
phoid fever are so few that all search for them by competent observers
is usually in vain. If it were not so, if the typhoid germs were so abun¬
dant is to be readily detected or even detected at all, any city using such
water for drinking purposes must surely be depopulated; for even in
sewage, in comparison with the whole number of common bacteria,
those of typhoid fever are probably as rare as planets are among the
stars, while, unlike the planets, they have no well marked features of
size or motion which enable them to be readily distinguished from
their neighbors, but rather so closely resemble many of them as to be
distinguishable, even when found, only by long and patient study.

The germs of typhoid fever bear, on the contrary to the harmless
germs of sewage some such relation as do murderers to ordinary citizens,
in the passing crowd upon a busy street. They are very few in number
and outwardly resemble very closely the law-abiding. Even expert de¬
tectives on the watch may not be able to discover them. It is only after¬
wards that often unseen and unsuspected, they do their deadly work. Even
then they may escape detection in the crowd, and it is only when circum¬
stantial evidence is overwhelming, or when they are taken in the very
act, red-handed, that their true character becomes manifest.

The germs of typhoid fever in sewage-polluted water can rarely, if
ever, be detected among the hosts of harmless organisms present and
which they closely resemble. But if the use of such sewage-polluted,
unpurified water is followed constantly by numerous cases of typhoid fev¬
er, there is, in the absence of other obvious causes, overwhelming cir¬
cumstantial evidence of their presence. When, in addition, we remember
that in this case typhoid fever is not uncommon on the water-shed; and
that the latter is of such a character as to favor the speedy delivery of
surface water to the citizens of Pittsburgh well inside the time during
which the typhoid germ is known to retain its vitality and virulence in
water; the case, in the absence of any other reasonable explanation, and
of any shadow of evidence, even in opposition, becomes so strong as to
amount to a demonstration.

DISTRIBUTION OF TYPHOID FEVER IN PITTSBURGH.

The engineers of your Honorable Commission have prepared a map, 1
a copy of which I am kindly permitted by them to include in my Report,
showing the typhoid mortality per 10,000 inhabitants in the various
wards of the city. It should be stated at the outset that the population in
each ward is somewhat uncertain inasmuch as no census by wards has
been taken since the United States Census in 1890 (the Police Census in
1897 being by Police Districts), and it will not do, therefore, to depend
absolutely upon the results given upon the map. Nevertheless these are
very instructive.

It will be observed that no inhabited portion of the city is entirely free
from the disease. Some wards appear to have suffered more severely
than others, as would be expected when we recall the fact that typhoid
fever arises from various sources for, as we have already pointed out,
whatever the principal cause in Pittsburgh may be, numerous contribu¬
tory causes unquestionably exist.

Another and perhaps more valuable aid in answering the ques¬
tion at stake, whether the distribution in general and broadly speaking,
is conformable to the density of the population, is, perhaps, to be deriv¬
ed by observing the actual location of the cases of typhoid fever reported
in Pittsburgh during the twelve months of 1897. A map* showing the
location of these cases, and prepared under my direction by the Engineers
of your Commission, is also appended as a portion of this Report. It
will be observed that no part of the city which is at all thickly populated
or likely to have used the city water, was free from the disease and that,
broadly speaking, the cases appear to be distributed as nearly as might
be expected in a case like this, according to the density of the population.

So far then as these methods of examination go, the one extending
over six years and the other over one year, they tend to show precisely
such distribution of the disease as might be expected from one principal
and widespread source affecting all parts of the city. I must repeat that
exact conformability to density of population cannot be expected owing
to the varying influences of the several contributory factors which go to
make up the total typhoid fever of any modern city; but in my opinion it
is not unfair to conclude, from the facts of the distribution of typhoid fever
and of a polluted water supply, especially in the absence of any other sat¬
isfactory cause and under the peculiar conditions represented by the
Allegheny River, that there is a close and significant connection between
the two.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION.

23

THE ALLEGHENY RIVER NOT THE ONLY POLLUTED WATER SUPPLY OP

PITTSBURGH.

It has already been pointed out that theMonongahela River is a most
objectionable source of water supply for the South Side. The citizens of
Pittsburgh itself are to some extent exposed to another and grave danger
in the use, to a certain extent, of water taken directly from the Allegheny
River by mills and manufactories and so disposed within these establish¬
ments as to be accessible to, and, in fact, to a considerable extent used for
drinking by laborers and others therein engaged. Several of the manu¬
facturing establishments located on the Allegheny River pump water
taken directly from the river opposite their works and distribute it
throughout the establishments for various purposes but in such a way
that it is accessible for drinking. It is hardly necessary to say that these
supplies must be highly objectionable, inasmuch as they are derived from
a river not only extensively sewage-polluted above Brilliant, but also se¬
riously polluted below Brilliant, yet above the establishments in question,
by sewers of the city itself.

It is a well-known fact that consumers often will not stop to inquire
whether a water is safe or not provided it is readily accessible and agree¬
able in taste or temperature; and I have no doubt that a considerable
amount of typhoid fever in Pittsburgh in the past has arisen from this
source. Even should the supply taken at Brilliant be purified by filtration
I should expect to see some typhoid fever still prevailing in the city in part
traceable to these mill supplies. It seems to me imperative that whatever
else is or is not done these supplies taken directly Pom the river should
be abandoned immediately, or else so arranged in the mills or other estab¬
lishments in which they exist as to be inaccessible for drinking purposes.

I have already indicated above the fact that the use of Monongahela
River water on the South Side may have caused some disease on the north-
side, and the same line of reasoning would cause me to expect to find in
Pittsburgh a considerable number of cases derived from the use of polluted
waters in Allegheny, or other neighboring cities and towns. It is pos¬
sible, also, that a few cases in Pittsburgh may be due to the use of infected
spring waters which, even under high sounding names, are by no means
always above suspicion.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION.

We may recapitulate as follows:—It is probable that a portion of the
typhoid fever in Pittsburgh is derived from polluted milk, from secondary
infection, from atmospheric dust, and from outside sources; but the con¬
stancy and general distribution of the disease point, in the strongest man¬
ner, to some other cause than these, which may indeed be regarded as
contributory factors but cannot be regarded as its principal source. On

24

THE SOURCES OF TYPHOID FEVER IN PITTSBURGH.

the other hand, the same facts which disqualify these as the principal
causes strongly suggest some widespread, general, and constant source,
such as the water supply would be; and on examining the character of
the water supplied to Pittsburgh, it appears that it is derived from rapid
and turbid rivers into which abundant sewage finds its way and by which
such sewage is very speedily delivered, unpurified, to the consumers. In
other words, the water supply fulfills precisely the conditions required to
explain the facts. I am therefore forced to conclude that this is in all
probability the principal source of the constant and excessive amount of
typhoid fever in Pittsburgh.

REPORT

OF THE

Consulting Engineer.

ALLEN HAZEN, C. E.

EXHIBIT 2.

Mr. Robert Pitcairn,

Chairman , Filtration Commission ;

Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania.

Sir :—

I beg to submit the following report in regard to the water supply
of Pittsburgh, and the means to be taken for its improvement.

The city of Pittsburgh, with a present estimated population of 320,-
000, is situated at the junction of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers.
The city water works draw water from the Allegheny River at Brilliant,
and supply a part of the city having a population of approximately 234,-
000, and most of this population is supplied from the city works. Another
part of the city is supplied with water from the Monongahela Water
Company, drawing water from the Monongahela River. The district
supplied in this way has an estimated population of 78,000. The re¬
maining portions of the city, with an estimated population of 8,000, are
supplied by two other private companies.

The water as now supplied by the city works from the Alle¬
gheny River is at times very muddy. The river is also polluted by a
considerable quantity of sewage, and there is reason to suppose that
it is, or that it may become, injurious to health. We have to consider,
therefore, first, whether or not the water as now supplied by the city
works is unhealthy, or is likely to become unhealthy, and second, to
determine the feasibility and cost of removing, by means of filtration
or otherwise, the objectionable qualities, whether unhealthy or not; and
third, to determine whether any other source of supply can be sub¬
stituted to advantage for that now in use.

The question of the healthfulness of the Allegheny River water
is found to present some very interesting problems. The amount of
sewage entering the river is very much less, relatively, than the volumes
of sewage entering other American rivers used for public water supplies;
but notwithstanding this, the city has had an exceptionally high death
rate from typhoid fever for many years. In view of the unusual diffi¬
culties of the question, the matter was referred to Prof. William T.
Sedgwick, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who has made
a report thereon, which has been presented to you, and which deals with
the matter quite fully.

In taking up the question of the feasibility and cost of purifying
the Allegheny River water, a number of important questions presented
themselves. Sand filters, operated at rates of from two to five million
gallons per acre daily, have been used in many European cities and a

28

REPORT OF THE CONSULTING ENGINEER.

smaller number of American cities for many years, and have been con¬
spicuously successful in removing those bacteria from surface waters
whose presence would otherwise cause disease. Most of the waters
so purified, however, have been drawn from lakes or reservoirs, or from
rivers not subject to excessive muddiness; such rivers, for example, as
the Merrimac and. the Hudson in this country, and the Thames and the
Spree in Europe, which do not approach in muddiness the Allegheny
River at Pittsburgh.

It was known in a general way that special precautions had to be
taken in the treatment of muddy waters by this process, but no data
were available to determine the extent of the precautions, nor the exact
results which could be obtained in the removal of mud. The crude
petroleum, mine drainage, etc., which occur more or less regularly in
the Allegheny River water, were also factors, the importance of which
could not be determined without trial.

Another system of filtration, known as mechanical filtration, has
been somewhat extensively used in the United States by cities smaller
than Pittsburgh. This system of filtration is commonly used at rates
of about ioo million gallons per acre daily, and chemicals, usually
sulphate of alumina, are employed in connection with it, to assist the
separation of the solid matters and to allow clarification to take place
at higher rates than would otherwise be possible. This system of filtra¬
tion has met with considerable success in the clarification of very muddy
waters. Owing to the fact that it has principally been used for such
waters, and rarely for the purification of waters containing considerable
quantities of sewage, but few data were available as to its effectiveness
in the removal of any disease producing qualities which might be
present.

In view of this condition of affairs it was deemed advisable to make
experiments upon a considerable scale with these two systems of filtration,
to determine whether or not sand filtration was capable of clarifying the
Allegheny River water, and whether or not mechanical filtration was
capable of removing sufficiently the bacteria as well as the turbidity;
and also to determine as far as possible the conditions essential' to
success with each system ; as, for example, the rate of filtration which
could be safely employed; the quantity of chemicals which it is necessary
to use; the necessity of preliminary sedimentation, etc.

The two above mentioned methods of filtration are the only ones
which have achieved conspicuous success, or have been adopted on an
important scale. Other methods of filtration have been devised which
have been tried experimentally, and in some cases municipal plants
have been constructed upon them. In connection with our experiments,

REPORT OF TflE CONMULTtNO EMOINKEH.

therefore, we have made certain investigations, in part by experiments,
and in part by examination of plants, experimental or otherwise, upon
various other systems of filtration, to determine if there was anything
in them which could be used to advantage in treating the water of the
Allegheny River.

In estimating the cost of filtration, it has been necessary to consider
the probable growth of the city and the possible extension of the municipal
water supply to those parts of the city not at present supplied by the
city works, and to make estimates of the amounts of water required for
the proper supply of these populations. In this connection the prevention
of waste of water is of vital importance, as it affects the quantity of water
which must be provided, and consequently the cost of filters.

Estimates of costs of filters upon various systems and in various
localities have been made in detail, which, in connection with the results
obtained in our experimental trials of the various systems, show to
what extent the Allegheny River water can be purified, and the cost
of doing it.

It has been suggested that a large part of the water supplied by
the city water works is used for manufacturing purposes, and that it
might be possible, at reduced cost, to install a separate system to supply
river water for such uses, and to provide filters for only that part of
the supply required for domestic purposes. This plan, therefore, has
been considered in comparison with the cost of filtering the whole
supply.

All projects for the improvement of the present supply involve
the construction of filter plants, and their operation, at a considerable
expense; and they also involve pumping all of the water from the Alle¬
gheny River to the city reservoirs, as it is now done, at a heavy
annual expense. If a source of supply could be found, high enough to
flow by gravity through conduits to the city reservoirs, the cost of pump¬
ing would be saved; and if the water was derived from a sparsely
populated water-shed, which could be controlled by the city, the necessity
of filtration would be avoided. We have, therefore, made examinations
to see if such a supply could be obtained; and having found such
a source, we have made investigations as to the feasibility and cost oi
supplying the city of Pittsburgh in this manner. In connection with this
study the services of Mr. Emil Kuchling, Chief Engineer of the Roch¬
ester Water Works, have been secured. In connection with the various
problems here briefly outlined, very many studies and estimates have
been made, which are given more at length under their respective
headings.

Of the above towns it is fair to assume that only the larger ones
are yet sewered, and that the population contributing sewage to the
river is only a fraction of the total as given. The populations are
increasing rapidly, however, and the use of sewers even more rapidly, so
that the amount of polluting matter entering the river, already con¬
siderable, is sure to increase rapidly.

As compared with other rivers used for municipal supplies in this
country and in Europe, the urban population is comparatively small, and

most of it is far removed from the present intake. The effect of this
population upon the healthfulness of the source of supply is discussed
at length by Professor Sedgwick, in his report upon this subject.

SANITARY CONDITION OF THE WATER SUPPLIED TO THE SOUTH SIDE FROM
THE MONONGAHELA RIVER.

As a considerable part of the city of Pittsburgh is supplied from
the Monongahela River, investigations have been rpade of the quality of
the water supplied. The drainage area above the intake of the Monon¬
gahela Water Company is about 7,600 square miles. The most im¬
portant cities and towns upon this drainage-area are as follows:—

The urban population per square mile upon the Monongahela
River is equal to that upon the Allegheny. There is this important
difference, however, that while most of the urban population upon the
Allegheny is at points far away from the water intake, that upon the
Monongahela is largely concentrated within a comparatively short dis¬
tance from the intake. The Monongahela River also receives a much
larger amount of mine drainage than the Allegheny, and this mine drain¬
age affects and greatly increases the mineral matter contained in it.
During the year ending July 31, 1898, the average compositions of the
two rivers were as follows:—

spring or high water period, and would obviously not give representative
results.

It will be seen from this comparison that the water of the Monon-
gahela carries more suspended matter, is harder, and contains more
organic matter and more bacteria, than the water of the Allegheny. Its
alkalinity is very much less, owing to the presence of a larger amount
of acid mine drainage. The Monongahela River is said to become
acid at times, although it has not done so during the period covered
by our analyses.

From every- standpoint the water of the Allegheny is more desir¬
able for a municipal water supply than that of the Monongahela, and
we have considered it probable that the present supply for the South Side,
now drawn from the Monongahela, would ultimately be abandoned, and
that the Allegheny River supply would be extended to this portion of
the city.

MUDDINESS.

The water of the Allegheny River is always more or less turbid; occa¬
sionally it becomes very muddy. The water is pumped from the river
to distributing reservoirs, where a part of the suspended matter is remov¬
ed by sedimentation. Even with this sediment removed, the water as sup¬
plied is very often so muddy as to be seriously objectionable to those
who use it.

A record has been kept since the commencement of our work of
the muddiness of the river water. To measure the turbidity or muddiness
of water a platinum wire is fastened to a long stick and is sunk into the
water as far as the wire can be seen. At the point where the wire is just
ready to disappear from view its depth below the surface is measured,
and the depth forms a measure of the muddiness of the water. For con¬
venience the muddiness is recorded as the reciprocal of the depth at
which the wire can be seen in inches. During continued dry weather
with very low water the turbidity falls to 0.03, with the wire visible 33
inches below the surface. After summer rains the turbidity is increased
water stages a turbidity of 0.10 is common, with the wire visible ten
inches below the surface. After summer rains the turbidity is increased
to 0.20 to 0.50, with the wire visible from five to two inches. Heavy
rains result in turbidities of i.OO, with the wire visible one inch below the
surface, and this may be considered as the ordinary maximum turbidity of
the river. On three occasions has this turbidity been exceeded; namely,
March 23, when with the highest freshet this year, the turbidity rose
to 2.38, with the wire visible less than half an inch from the surface; on

It was at first thought that the turbidities bore a relation to the
height of the river, and that this relation could be established from the
records of this year and applied to the records of river heights for pre¬
vious years, and in this way an approximate computation of turbidities
extending over a longer period could be made. It was found, however,
upon comparing the turbidities and river heights, that no definite rela¬
tion could be established. Occasionally a sharp but not high rise of the
river is followed by a very high turbidity, while on the other hand, a
very much higher rise under other conditions is accompanied by less
muddy water.

As the condition of the river depends more or less directly upon the
meteorological conditions, the records of monthly precipitations and tem¬
peratures have been secured for the past ten years and plotted. These
plottings are presented herewith.* The conditions during the period cov¬
ered by our experiments are shown by heavy lines and the corresponding
conditions for other years dotted lines. It will be seen that March, 1898,
was exceptionally warm, and April exceptionally cold. Both July and
August were warmer than the average, although not reaching the highest
record for monthly heat. October, 1897, was also a warm month. The
winter was not exceptionally severe, although February was colder than
the average.

The precipitation was exceptionally heavy in November, 1897, and
March, 1898, and exceptionally low in September and October, 1897.
On the whole, both precipitation and temperature records are essentially
normal, and present about the same range as has been common during
the last ten years. It is perhaps a fair deduction that our record of
turbidities extending over more than a year affords a good idea of the
general condition of the river for a period of years, and we have no reason

to believe that the condition of the river during this period has been other
than essentially normal.

The presence of this mud in the water is a source of serious inconven¬
ience and discomfort to the people using it, and is objectionable in many
mechanical operations for which the water is used. To remove this mud
is one of the most important objects to be reached by filtration, and has
been carefully considered in all our investigations.

[nature of firtration.

The filtration of water consists in passing it through some substance
which retains and removes the suspended matters contained therein.
Under certain conditions matters in solution are also removed. In sand
filtration as practiced in Europe for many years, and in this country on a
less extensive scale, the water is passed through sand contained in large
masonry basins, at a rate not exceeding, in general, five vertical inches
per hour, or three million gallons per acre daily, although somewhat
higher rates are occasionally used. The filtered water is removed from
below through underdrains surrounded by gravel. Filters are construct-,
ed in sections so that parts can be put out of service and cleaned while
other sections are furnishing the supply. This method of filtration is
used for filtering the water supplied to cities with an aggregate population
of over twenty millions of people.

In mechanical filtration the rate at which water is passed through the
sand is increased many times, commonly to 150 to 200 vertical inches
per hour. The efficiency of filtration is, in general, inversely propor¬
tional to the rate, and purification of water at such rates would be impos¬
sible were it not for the introduction of other factors. The element re¬
lied upon in mechanical filtration to allow satisfactory results to be ob¬
tained at high rates is alum, or sulphate of alumina. This chemical is
added to the water to be filtered and is decomposed into its component
parts,—alumina and sulphuric acid. The sulphuric acid remains in the
water, while the alumina forms a gelatinous precipitate which surrounds
and entangles the fine suspended particles in the water and allows them
to be removed much more readily than would otherwise be the case.
Objection has been raised to the use of alum on hygienic grounds, but
when due care is exercised in its use, it is doubtful if it is ever really in¬
jurious to health. Water usually contains sufficient lime to combine with
the sulphuric acid, forming the comparatively harmless sulphate of lime,
while nearly all of the alumina is removed in the process of filtration, and
it is not clear that it is injurious to health, even if an extremely small
quantity is found in the effluent.

EXPERIMENT* UPON FILTRATION.

37

EXPERIMENTS UPON FILTRATION.

There have been installed and operated at the Brilliant pumping
station one sedimentation basin, two sand filters, one Jewell mechanical
filter, one Warren mechanical filter, and also a set of artificial sandstone
tiles on the Fischer system. It was not the object of these experiments
to settle all questions in regard to filtration which might be raised, but
rather to determine the power of sand filters to deal with water as mud¬
dy as that of the Allegheny, and to ascertain what bacterial efficiencies
could be secured bv mechanical filtration, and to afford information on
some purely local problems. These experiments also served as practical
demonstrations of the results obtained by the different processes, and
afford a basis for direct comparisons between them, each operated under
as favorable conditions as could be secured.

With the sand filters it was assumed that the kind of sand to be em¬
ployed, the depth of sand, the limit to the loss of head, the rate of filtra¬
tion, andthe general arrangement and operation of the plant were suffi¬
ciently well known from experiments made elsewhere and from general
practice; and the filters were constructed to represent what might be
considered the best practice in these respects, and no attempt has been
made to investigate them. It was intended, however, to secure data
upon the following points:—

1. Whether the Allegheny River water could be successfully filtered
without preliminary sedimentation, and whether such sedimentation was
desirable.

2. Whether it would be necessary or desirable to cover filters for
use in the climate of Pittsburgh.

3. To determine whether or not the mud, crude petroleum, mine
drainage, and other substances present in the Allegheny River water
would interfere with the work of filtration, and cause results to be ob¬
tained materially different from those which have been obtained else¬
where.

4. To determine the frequency with which it would be necessary
to clean filters, both with and without preliminary sedimentation, this
information being necessary to a computation of tbe cost of operation.

With regard to mechanical filters, it was assumed that the filters
used represented the most perfect types of mechanical filters yet con¬
structed, and that the results obtained with them could be regarded as
representing the best obtainable results under these processes. The
questions presented in connection with them were whether or not efflu¬
ents could be obtained equal in bacterial purity to those obtained from
sand filters, or if not equal, at least of satisfactory quality; and second
to determine what quantity of coagulant would be required to accomplish
satisfactory results at various river stages.

REPORT OF CONSULTING ENGINEER.

RESULTS PROM EXPERIMENTAL FILTERS.

The work of installing and operating experimental filters was placed
in charge of Mr. Morris Knowles, Resident Engineer of the Commission,
who has made a report, giving in detail descriptions of the work thus
done, which report is hereto appended. The biological examinations
were made by Mr. William R. Copeland, Bacteriologist of the Commis¬
sion, who was provided with a temporary laboratory near the filters, and
who also gave his persona! attention to many matters connected with their
operation. Chemical analyses were made by Dr. Walther Riddle, Chem¬
ist of the Commission. Both Mr. Copeland and Dr. Riddle have made
reports upon the methods employed by them, which reports are hereto
appended. Full tabular statements of the daily results from each of the
filters are given in Mr. Knowles’ report. For convenience a summary
of the monthly results is here presented.

RESULTS WITH SAND FILTERS.

Necessity of Preliminary Sedimentation.

Two sand filters were constructed and one sedimentation basin.
One filter was supplied with the water as pumped from the river, and
the other with similar water after passing through the sedimen¬
tation basin. During the first three months of their use the river water
had uniformly low turbidities, and the filters gave equally good results
in all respects. Afterwards turbid waters were obtained from the river
more frequently, and with the appearance of the greater turbidities a
marked difference in the behavior of the two filters was observed. The
filter supplied with settled water operated for longer periods between
cleanings, and gave a much more satisfactory effluent than that supplied
with raw water. At times of maximum turbidity the filter supplied
with unsettled water became clogged so rapidly that grave difficulties
would be experienced in cleaning filters in a municipal plant operated
in this manner. The bacterial efficiency was also materially less than
that of the filter receiving settled water, although the settling itself
removed but few of the bacteria. The experiments thus demonstrated
that for the Allegheny River water preliminary sedimentation, if not
absolutely necessary, is certainly desirable, and either that or its equiva¬
lent must be considered as an essential part of a filtration plant.

Necessity of Coz’ering Filters.

In severe climates it is necessary to cover filters as a protection
against frosts. In warmer climates this is unnecessary. In Europe it
has been found that in those cities where the winters are so severe that
the normal January temperature is below 32 degrees, Fahrenheit, it is
generally necessary to cover filters as a protection against frost, while
in places where the winters are less severe, covers are unnecessary.
American experience is as yet somewhat limited, but the experience with
open filters at Lawrence and Poughkeepsie has indicated that for America
also the above statement is approximately correct.

There are apparent exceptions to this rule in several cases where
raw water is drawn from deep reservoirs or wells, and has always a
temperature somewhat above the freezing point. In these cases open
filters operate successfully in colder climates than the above limit.

The normal January temperature at Pittsburgh is about 32 0 , and
is so close to the limit as to leave it uncertain whether covers are neces¬
sary or desirable. To throw light upon this subject our experimental
filters were left open, and were operated throughout the winter without
protection from cold. Their efficiencies during the period of greatest
cold fell materially below the efficiencies obtained at other periods of

the year. The decrease in efficiency was greatest in' the filter receiving
raw water; but as sedimentation basins are considered 'as a necessary
part of a sand filtration plant for Pittsburgh, we may confine our attention
to the results obtained from the filter receiving settled water.

The bacterial efficiency in September and October, and the early
part of November, was exceptionally high. The monthly average for
November shows a drop to 98.58, but this decrease was due to a defect
in the construction of the filter, which is described in detail in the report
of the Resident Engineer. Excluding the results for one week, the
bacterial efficiency for November was 99.44 per cent., which is quite
normal. In December the bacterial efficiency fell to 98.88; in January
to 97.82; and in February, which was the coldest month of the season,
to 97.18. Afterwards the efficiency rapidly improved, and remained at
about or above 99 per cent, for the remainder of the'time covered by our
experiments.

It will thus be seen that while the efficiency for the winter months
was less than at other times, it did not fall below an average of 97 per
cent.; and it may be that this efficiency will be satisfactory for the con¬
ditions at Pittsburgh. It is probable, further, that in an actual plant,
by improved manipulation, the reduction in efficiency will be less than
it was in the experimental plant, although sometimes colder weather
would occur than any during the past winter.

The most important point to be observed in operating filters in
winter is to clean the filters in weather that is not too cold,
and to prevent the sand from freezing while exposed to the
air. The experimental filters were always cleaned when they
became clogged, or directly afterward, and the sand became frozen
on several occasions, with the result of decreasing the efficiency as above
shown. With a sufficient reserve area it would be possible generally to
wait for a few days, if necessary, for warmer weather before cleaning,
and consequently there would be less disturbance in the normal action
of the filters. The experimental filters were kept up to their nominal
delivery regardless of the weather.

The winter disturbances can, if necessary, be entirely eliminated
bv the construction of covered filters at an additional expense as stated
in connection with the estimates of cost; but I do not regard this as
necessary, and do not recommend it.

Effect of the Mud, Crude Petroleum, Mine Waste, etc., upon Sand Filters.

The Allegheny River receives at times a great deal of crude petro¬
leum and coal-mine waste. These substances are not generally present
in other river waters which have been successfully filtered. It was thought
that these substances might have some effect upon the operation of the

REPORT 01*’ CONSlfl.TINU ENGINEER.

4(1

filters which would materially influence the results obtained. In the
course of our experiments no such disturbing action has been present.

The effect of excessive quantities of mud in the raw water has been
generally recognized. The most obvious effect is to shorten the period
between scrapings, making cleanings more frequent and expensive. It
is also noticed that when the turbidity of the water applied to the filters
is very high some of it passes through the filter, and turbid effluents
result. This is particularly the case at high rates of filtration.

During the months of July and August, 1898, Filter No. 2 was
operated at a rate of five million gallons per acre daily. During a part
of this time the river water was very muddy, and the effluent from the
filter operating at the five million rate became four times as turbid as
that operating at a three million rate. The turbidity of the effluent at
the five million rate reached 0.07, a point which would be seriously
objectionable to the water takers. The highest turbidity reached at this
time with the filter operated at the three million rate was 0.02, a turbidity
which is just visible in an ordinary drinking glass, and which would not
be seriously objectionable to any one.

At the time of the spring freshets, with very high and continued
turbidities in the raw water, when filtering at a three million rate, effluents
with turbidities of from 0.03 to 0.06 were obtained for four days. It is
believed, however, that in practice filters could be so operated as never
to produce effluents of this degree of turbidity. Owing to the fact that
the consumption at such times is generally less than the average, there
is a large reserve filtering area and somewhat lower rates of filtration
could be employed. Further, the quantity of water stored in the system
of reservoirs is considerable, and could be safely drawn upon for part of
the supply for the short periods at which these very high turbidities occur.
By reducing the rate of filtration somewhat at these times, it is believed
that the turbidity can always be kept within limits which will not be
objectionable to any one.

The loss of head was, in general, limited to about four feet. In
the first tw’o periods the loss of head was allowed to reach a considerably
higher figure, and in these cases only the quantities have been taken
which were filtered before the loss of head reached four feet. The
average quantity of water filtered between scrapings was 77,000,000
gallons per acre with a loss of head of four feet.

Filter No. 2 was operated for about nine months with raw water and
four months with settled water, and the average period was 57,000,000
gallons per acre filtered between scrapings. This result, however, is of
no value for the purpose of our computations, as the procedure adopted
was not that which would be adopted in a municipal plant.

The period obtained with No. 1 is rather higher than the average
of German results, and is about the same as the average period of the
London Water Companies. It is somewdiat greater than has been obtained
at Lawrence, Mass., with the Merrimac River water, and about the same
as that obtained at Mount Vernon and Poughkeepsie, N. Y. The German
results are low because thelossof head is limited in general toabout two feet
instead of the four feet used at Pittsburgh, and the Lawrence results are
low owing to the peculiar construction of the filter. At Pittsburgh the

results indicate that the cost of operation of filters will he quite as moderate
as compared with the costs in other places.

RESULTS WITH MECHANICAL FILTERS.

The principal problem to be solved in connection with mechanical
filtration was to determine the bacterial efficiency which could be secured
and the conditions which control it. The filters were not put in operation
until January, 1898, owing to various delays in the arrangements with the
mechanical filter companies and in the manufacture of the apparatus,
over which we had no control. The filters were in good working
order by the first of February, and the monthly results from that date
are given in the above table.* In general the filters were operated in
accordance with suggestions of the filter companies, and in such a manner
as to give the best possible effluents obtainable under ordinary working
conditions.

It soon became apparent that the amount of sulphate of alumina
employed was more important than any other factor in determining the
bacterial efficiency, and it was thus important to establish the effect of
more and of less coagulant than was used in the ordinary daily work.
Special experiments in this direction were made upon the Warren Filter
during May, and with the Jewell Filter during June. The monthly
averages for these months are thus abnormal, and are not to be con¬
sidered. The remaining six months may be taken as normal and as
representing approximately the work of these filters under ordinary care¬
ful working conditions.

During the six months when the Warren Filter was in normal order
the raw water contained 11,531 bacteria and the effluent 201, the average
efficiency being 98.26 per cent. The bacterial efficiency was very con¬
stant, ranging only, by months, from 97.48 to 98.96 per cent. During the
same months Sand Filter No. 1 yielded an effluent having 105 bacteria per
cubic centimeter, or one-half as many as the water from the mechanical
filter. This period for Filter No. 1 included the month of February,
which was the month when the greatest decrease in efficiency from cold
was observed.

The Jewell Filter, for the six months in which it was in normal order,
received raw water containing an average of 11,481 bacteria, and yielded
an effluent containing an average of 293, the bacterial efficiency being 97.45
per cent., and ranging, in different months, from 93.23 to 98.61 per
cent. Sand Filter No. 1 for the same months yielded an effluent con¬
taining 101 bacteria per cubic centimeter, or a little more than one-third
as many as the effluent from-the Jewell Filter. The number of bacteria

passing the mechanical filters was thus on an average two or three times as
great as the number passing the sand filters.

Wasting Effluent after Washing Filters.

After washing a mechanical filter the effluent for the first few minutes
is often inferior in quality to that obtained at other times, and if samples
are taken at these times and averaged with other samples taken during
the run, an apparent efficiency may be obtained inferior to the true
efficiency. To guard against this source of error, whenever samples have
been taken at such times, the average work for the day has been taken
not as the numerical average of the results, but each sample has been
given weight in proportion to the amount of time which it could be
taken as representing; so that the results represent as nearly as possible
the average number of bacteria in the effluent for the whole run. As a
matter of fact, however, comparatively few samples were taken during
those periods of reduced efficiency, and thus most of the results represent
the normal efficiency exclusive of this period. A study has been made,
however, of the results of examinations of samples taken directly after
washing, somewhat in detail. The following is a tabular statement of
the average results obtained from each filter by months, including only
the results obtained on those days when samples were taken within twenty •
minutes after washing, the results of other days being excluded:—

The time of inferior work very rarely exceeded twenty minutes. It
will be seen from the tables that the results as shown by the record
sheets are never very much higher, and are occasionally lower than the
results of samples taken on corresponding days more than twenty minutes
after washing; and thus while a decrease in bacterial efficiency was noted
after washing, no material increase in the average bacterial efficiency of the
mechanical filters would have been obtained if these results had been ex¬
cluded. The results for the whole time would be affected much less
than is indicated by the table, because the table includes only results of
those days when samples were taken just after washing, while the much
larger number of days when no such samples were taken would show no
change whatever.

It has been suggested that these inferior effluents after washing
should be wasted. Such a procedure would mean wasting probably on
an average two per cent, of the water filtered, and a corresponding in¬
crease in the cost of filtering. Mr. Fuller' in his Louisville Report comes
to the conclusion that with adequate washing and coagulation it is
unnecessary to waste any effluent, and that inferior results after washing
usually indicated incomplete washing. While our experiments certainly
indicate a reduction in efficiency after washing so regular and persistent
as to make it doubtful whether incomplete washing can be the cause
of it, it may be questioned whether or not wasting the effluent would be
necessary or desirable in actual operation. At any rate, the results as
given in this report are not materially influenced by this factor.

Influence of Amount of Sulphate of Alumina on Bacterial Efficiency of

Mechanical Filters.

The number of bacteria passing a mechanical filter is dependent
principally upon the amount of sulphate of alumina used, and by using
a larger quantity of sulphate of alumina than was actually used in the
experiments the bacterial efficiency could be considerably increased. To
investigate this point, the results obtained each day with each of the
mechanical filters were arranged in the order of the sulphate of alumina
quantities used, and averaged by classes. In this and the following
tables a few abnormal results were omitted. 2 A summary of the results is
as follows:—

REPORT OF CONSULTING ENGINEER.

Influence of Degree of Turbidity upon Bacterial Efficiency of
Mechanical Fillers.

It will be noticed by referring to the tables that as the sulphate of
alumina quantities increased the turbidities increased and the numbers
of bacteria increased, .as well as the bacterial efficiencies. That is to say,
with the less turbid waters, small sulphate of alumina quantities have
been used, the numbers of bacteria in the raw water have been low, and
the bacterial efficiencies have also been low. With turbid waters much
larger quantities of sulphate of alumina have been used, the raw water
has contained more bacteria, and the bacterial efficiencies have been
much higher. It may be then, that the increased efficiencies with increased
quantities of sulphate of alumina are not due alone to the increased
sulphate of alumina, but in part also to other conditions. Thus it may
be easier to remove a large percentage of bacteria from a water containing
many than from a water containing only a few.

To investigate this matter and eliminate the influence of turbidity
and numbers of bacteria in the raw water, the results were first classified
with reference to turbidity. The results with waters having turbidities
of o.io or less, and called for convenience turbid waters, are arranged
by alum quantities as before. Afterwards the results obtained with
turbidities from o.i'i to 0.50, and called for convenience muddy waters,
are grouped; and finally the results with waters having turbidities of
0.51 and over, and called for convenience thick waters. The results thus
arranged are as follows:—

It appears from this table that waters of various degrees of turbidity
give substantially equal bacterial efficiencies with equal quantities of sul¬
phate of alumina, the results varying as often in one direction as the other.
VVithin certain limits it may thus be said that turbidity is without influence
upon the bacterial efficiency obtained in mechanical filtration.

It must be borne in mind, however, that the quantities of sulphate of
alumina, with very few exceptions, were sufficient to produce full coagula-

ItKI'OKT OF CONSULTING ENGINEER.

tion. Mr. Fuller lias shown in his Louisville Report that considerable
quantities of sulphate of alumina may be -added to turbid waters without
producing appreciable coagulation, and therefore if a quantity of sulphate
of alumina sufficient to produce a certain bacterial efficiency in a clear
water should be added to a water so turbid that it was unable to coagulate
it, scarcely any effect would be produced. The above statement therefore
only applies in those cases where sufficient sulphate of alumina is used to
adequately coagulate the water.

As the numbers of bacteria often vary with the turbidity, the variation
in the numbers of bacteria in the different classes is much less than in
the first tables; but to further investigate the question of whether the
numbers of bacteria in the raw water have an important influence upon
the bacterial efficiencies, each of the two largest classes in the foregoing
tables were divided into two parts, according to the bacterial numbers in
the raw water, namely, the results from the Jewell Filter with turbid
waters and with sulphate of alumina quantities ranging from 0.75 to 1.00
grain per gallon, and the results from the Warren Filter with turbid
waters and with sulphate of alumina quantities of 1.25 grains per gallon
and upward. The results are as follows:—

It will be observed that the bacterial efficiencies arc substantially
tlie same, with the lower and with the higher numbers of bacteria in the
raw water. That is to say, other things being equal, as the number of
bacteria increase .in the raw water the number of bacteria in the effluent
increase in the same ratio. A further analysis of other groups of results
would perhaps show variations in one direction or the other, but on the
whole it is believed that the comparison is a fair one, and that there is no
well marked tendency for bacterial efficiencies of mechanical filters to
increase or decrease with increasing numbers of bacteria.

Average Results Obtained with Various Quantities of Sulphate of Alumina.

As it appears that neither the turbidity nor the number of bacteria
in the raw water have a material influence upon the percentage of bacterial
efficiency obtained, we can take the results given above, which include
all the results obtained (except a very few abnormal ones) for computing

the .various efficiencies obtained with various quantities of sulphate of
alumina. These results arc graphically shown on the accompanying
diagram, on which lines have been drawn indicating the normal efficiencies
from various quantities of sulphate of alumina as deduced from our
experiments. 1

In computing the amount of sulphate of alumina which it would be
necessary to use in operating a plant at Pittsburgh to give these efficiencies,
the quantities of sulphate of alumina shown by the diagram can be taken
as those which it would be necessary to use during those days in the
year when the raw water was clear, or sufficiently clear, so that the
amounts of sulphate of alumina mentioned would suffice to properly
coagulate it.

Amount of Snip!Late of Alumina Required to Clarify Turbid Waters.

With the most turbid waters certain quantities of sulphate of alumina
are required for coagulation, irrespective of bacteria! efficiency. In
order to determine these amounts of sulphate of alumina, all the results
with raw water turbidities of o.io and over have been arranged by
themselves, and have been plotted on the accompanying diagram.’

It should be remembered that many of the quantities of sulphate of
alumina shown on this diagram were used to secure high bacterial
efficiencies and without reference to the turbidity, and therefore the
minimum rather than the average amounts should be considered. On
the other hand, the quantities of sulphate of alumina were occasionally
insufficient to produce entirely clear effluents. Bearing these facts in
mind, lines have been drawn representing the amounts of sulphate of
alumina which it may be considered necessary to use with the Warren
and Jewell Filters with the turbidities given to produce, in general, clear
effluents. These lines start at 0.30 of a grain of sulphate of alumina
for perfectly dear waters, and reach 2.00 grains with the Jewell and 2.75
grains with the Warren for turbidities of 1.00. No doubt the amount
of sulphate of alumina required to clarify turbid waters depends some¬
what upon the character of the material causing the turbidity; but the
lines as drawn will be sufficiently accurate for the purposes of present
computations.

Amount of Sulphate of Alumina Which Must He Used.

If now we take the various efficiencies obtained with the various
quantities of sulphate of alumina from the first plotting, and assume
that these quantities of sulphate of alumina will be sufficient to clarify all
waters up to the turbidities corresponding to these quantities, as shown
by the second diagram, and then for the remaining days of the year

Action of Sulphate of Alumina and the Quantity of Sulphate of Alumina
Which Can Be Safely Used.

All calculations thus far have been based upon the assumption that
it is possible to use any quantity of sulphate of alumina which may be
desired. As a matter of fact this is not the case, but the amount which
can be used is dependent upon the amount of lime in the raw water.
When sulphate of alumina is added to water it is decomposed, with the
formation of alumina, which forms a flocculent precipitate, upon which
its purifying action depends, and sulphuric acid which combines with the

ACTION OF SULPHATE OF ALUMINA.

57

calcium carbonate or lime present in the raw water. There should
always be an excess of lime in the water. If, however, for any reason
there is not, there is nothing to combine with the sulphuric acid, and
the decomposition of the sulphate of alumina is not complete, and a
portion of it goes undecomposed into the effluent. The effluent then
has an acid reaction and is unfit for domestic water supply. When
distributed through iron pipes it attacks the iron, rusting the pipes, and
giving rise to all the disagreeable consequences of an iron-containing
water.

The amount of lime in the water at any time available to combine
with the sulphuric acid can be determined by a very simple chemical
operation, and has been so determined at frequent intervals during the
course of our experiments. The amount of sulphate of alumina cor¬
responding to a given quantity of lime can be readily and accurately
calculated, but it is not regarded safe to use as much sulphate of alumina
as corresponds to the lime. The quantity of sulphate of alumina used
is not susceptible to exact control, but fluctuates somewhat; and if the
exact theoretical quantity should be employed during twenty-four hours,
there would surely be an excess during some portion of that time, from
which bad results would be experienced. It is therefore considered only
prudent to use three-fourths as much sulphate of alumina as corresponds
to the lime in the water.

The following table shows the average alkalinity or uncombined lime
of the Allegheny River, and the amount of sulphate of alumina in grains
per gallon which could be safely used with it. The sulphate of alumina
is computed as having seventeen per cent, soluble alumina, that being the
average strength used in our experiments.

The alkalinity, ami consequently the amount of sulphate of alumina
which can be used, is, in a general way, inversely proportional to the
amount of water flowing in the river. When the river is low in summer,
the water carries a great deal of lime; while in winter, and especially
in the spring freshets, it is made up largely of melted snow and rain
water and carries but little lime. The lowest monthly average is for
January, corresponding to 1.4 of a grain of sulphate of alumina to the
gallon. For short intervals during floods, alkalinities considerably lower
than the monthly averages were obtained during January, February,
March, and April, the amounts being so low at times as to be only capable
of decomposing one grain of sulphate of alumina to the gallon.

Mr. Fuller in the report of his experiments at Louisville has called
attention to the fact that with very large amounts of suspended matter
more sulphate of alumina can be used then corresponds to the alkalinity
of the water. The explanation of this is apparently that some of the
sulphate of alumina is absorbed by the clayey matter in suspension, and
carried out as sulphate of alumina without being decomposed, and without
taking up any of the lime in the raw water. It may be questioned
whether the sulphate of alumina which has been absorbed in this way
plays any part whatever in the purification. It allows the use of more
sulphate of alumina than would otherwise be possible, however, and must
thus be taken into consideration. Mr. Fuller 1 ' states as the results of
his experiments that the percentages which the actual reductions in
alkalinity by sulphate of alumina were of the theoretical percentages
with the Ohio River water containing different amounts of suspended
matter were as follows:—

The suspended matters in this table represent approximately the
range during the freshet flows of the Allegheny River at Pittsburgh, and
it may therefore be assumed that at these times the reductions in alkalinity
will be about as given in the table ; or putting it in another way, the
amount of sulphate of alumina used may be increased from twenty to
fifty per cent, above the amounts corresponding to three-fourths of the
alkalinity. Making this allowance, it appears that at times the amount
of sulphate of alumina which can safely be used with the Allegheny River
water is not more than 1.2 to 1.5 grains per gallon. These times of
minimum alkalinity arc also, in general, times of maximum turbidity,

50

and the quantity of sulphate of alumina necessary for clarification is
occasionally greater than the amount which can be safely taken by the
water.

During the course of our experiments, and before this condition
was fully realized, the amount of sulphate of alumina was, on several occa¬
sions, increased beyond the amount which could properly be received
by the water, in the endeavor to maintain clear effluents, and acid and
alum containing the effluents were the result. The effluents also were not
clear at these times, and on a number of occasions turbid effluents were
obtained from the mechanical filters with the best conditions which could
be obtained, and in fact tbe conditions were such that clear effluents could
not have been obtained by the use of any amount of sulphate of alumina,
large or small. These times were not of frequent occurrence nor of long
duration, and would probably not prevent securing a satisfactory effluent
for municipal supply, as the rate of filtration could be reduced, as with
sand filters, at these periods; but owing to tbe absence of the large sedi¬
mentation basins and the large quantities of water upon the sand filters,
the reduction in rate which woidd be possible at these times would be
relatively less with mechanical than with sand filters.

Another alternative would be to add lime to the water before adding
the sulphate of alumina, making up the deficiency in alkalinity, hi this
way a much larger quantity of sulphate of alumina could be used without
having it pass undecomposed into the effluent; but, on the other hand,
the hardness of the water would be increased, and tbe process also made
more complex and difficult of regulation. Soda ash could be used
instead of lime, at a considerable increase in expense and without in¬
creasing the hardness. The use of lime and soda ash in any event should
only be regarded as emergency measures during floods. The regular
use of either of these substances would be attended with such disad¬
vantages as to render it out of the question.

It will be seen that (throwing out of consideration the use of lime
and soda ash) during six months of (he year the water of the Allegheny
River contains so little lime as only to make possible the use of from
1.2 to 2.0 grains of sulphate of alumina to the gallon. The use of
larger quantities of sulphate of alumina, with corresponding bacterial
efficiencies, is therefore impossible for the conditions at Pittsburgh. In
fact there would be several months when enough sulphate of alumina
could not be used to reach 1.70 grains to the gallon with a bacterial
efficiency of 99 per cent. It may thus be said that, as far as our experi¬
ments have developed the case, the maximum average bacterial efficiency
which can be obtained at Pittsburgh by mechanical filtration is rather
less than 99 per cent, with the most efficient quantity of sulphate of
alumina applied to the water, regardless of the cost.

COMPARISON OF THE QUALITIES OF EFFLUENTS OBTAINED
BY SAND AND MECHANICAL FILTRATION.

Bacterial Efficiency.

The average bacterial efficiencies of filters on the respective systems,
as developed by our tests, were an average of yy per cent, for the sand
filters, and from 97 to 98 per cent, for the mechanical filters. With the
sand filters the efficiencies for the summer months, and particularly those
months when the numbers of bacteria in the raw water were highest, were
very much above this average, reaching during October, 1897, the remark¬
able efficiency of 99.96 per cent.

It is noticed throughout that the numbers of bacteria in the effluents
from the sand filters vary less with changes in the numbers of bacteria
in the raw water than do those in the effluents from mechanical filters.
With the lowest numbers of bacteria in the river water a certain number
are found in the effluents from the sand filters, and with the highest
numbers the numbers in the effluents are often little or no greater. This
circumstance, which has been observed with sand filters in many places,
has led to the theory that these bacteria, within certain limits, result
from growths in the underdrains and in the lower parts of the filters,
and do not represent bacteria which have come through the sand. To
a certain extent this deduction is correct, and it is a well established fact
that the numbers of bacteria found in the effluents from sand filters
represent more than the numbers which really pass the filters.

With mechanical filters, on the other hand, the action is so rapid,
and the filter is stirred to the bottom -so frequently, that there is no
chance for growths of this kind, and the numbers of bacteria found in
the effluents do actually represent the numbers of bacteria passing the
filters. The importance of this difference lies in the fact that the bacteria
which are capable of growing in the underdrains and lower parts of the
sand filters are in no case injurious to health, and as far as the bacteria in
the effluents are of this character, they are unobjectionable; and as this
number is added to that of the bacteria which have actually passed
through the filters, and are, or may be, objectionable, the apparent
efficiency of the filter is reduced below the true efficiency.

The greatest numbers of bacteria in the effluents from sand filters
occur during the winter, and at this time the numbers must be taken as
representing, for the most part, bacteria which actually pass through, the
conditions for growths in the underdrains being less favorable at this
season of the year. During the winter months the bacterial efficiency fell
to about 97 per cent, for a time. This reduction in efficiency would be
avoided by the use of covered instead of open filters.

With mechanical filters, the percentage of bacteria passing'was con¬
siderably greater than with the sand filters. By using a larger quantity

ni

of sulphate of alumina than was used during- our experiments, it would
he possible to obtain higher bacterial efficiencies, possibly as high as
99 per cent. This would be equivalent to the average yearly work of
open sand filters, but not equivalent to the work which could be secured
from sand filters during summer, or from covered filters all the year
round.

Some special experiments demonstrated the sensitiveness of mechan¬
ical filters to the constant application of sulphate of alumina. When,
for the purpose of experiment, the addition of sulphate of alumina to
the water was interrupted, the bacteria in the effluent increased in about
the length of time which was required for the water to pass through
the apparatus, and in a short additional time the bacteria in effluent
became a considerable percentage of those in the raw water. The im¬
portance of this will be at once appreciated, as in a mechanical filter plant
if the sulphate of alumina applied should be interrupted at any time tem¬
porarily the efficiency of the filter disappears.

On the whole, the bacterial efficiency of the sand filters has been very
much better than that of the mechanical filters. By using more sulphate
of alumina, better bacterial efficiency could be secured with mechanical
filters than the average results of our experiments with them; but the
efficiency which can be secured in this way would not be as great in any
case as that of sand filters protected from winter weather.

Clearness of Effluent.

As has been shown, there are times when neither sand filters nor
mechanical filters are capable of producing perfectly clear effluents from
the Allegheny River water. The times when sand filters cannot produce
clear effluents are more frequent and last longer than the times when
mechanical filters cannot produce clear effluents, and the mechanical filters
in this respect are distinctly superior to the sand filters. It is believed,
however, that a plant on either system, properly constructed and operated,
would yield effluents entirely unobjectionable in this respect. With sand
filters, the turbidity of effluents can always be kept within 0.02 by re¬
ducing somewhat the rate of filtration for the short times when the
turbidity in the river is exceptionally high, and this turbidity is such as
not to be particularly noticeable in an ordinary drinking glass. These
periods of maximum turbidity of the river water are quite short, and by
drawing somewhat upon the stored water in the reservoirs at these times,
the difficulties of filtration will be materially less than they were in our
experiments, in which the attempt was made to maintain the full rates of
filtration at all times, regardless of the character of the raw water.

Color.

The water of the Allegheny River after filtration is almost entirely
colorless. It has, however, occasionally a yellow color, due to peaty
matter. The origin of this peaty matter has not been traced in detail,
but it appears probable that one or more of the upper tributaries of the
river are of a peaty character, and that when these branches are in Hood,
the water from them is sufficient to color slightly the water of the river at
Brilliant.

At these times a considerable portion of the color passes through
the sand filters, but is removed by the action of the sulphate of alumina
in the mechanical filters. The highest color observed in the effluents
from sand filters was about 0.30. Colors of 0.15 are exceptional, and
the average for the year ending August 31, 1898, was 0.07 for both sand
filters. When it is considered that many Eastern cities have water sup¬
plies, generally considered satisfactory, having colors upon the same
scale ranging from 0.50 to 1.00, it will be seen that these colors are quite
slight, and will hardly be open to serious objection.

Hardness.

Both sand and mechanical filters have increased somewhat the hard¬
ness of the water during our experiments, but in different ways. The
sand filters have increased the temporary, while the mechanical filters
have increased the permanent hardness. In the mechanical filters the
increase in hardness is due to the change of lime from carbonate to sul¬
phate, or from temporary to permanent hardness, the total hardness
remaining unchanged. With the sand filters the permanent hard¬
ness has remained unchanged, while the temporary hardness has been
increased by the solution of a certain amount of carbonate of lime
contained in the sand. During the period covered by our experiments
more than sixty per cent, of the lime originally present in the sand has
been dissolved out, as is shown in the following table:—

It is observed from the above that the lime will be exhausted before
another year, and with its exhaustion the increase in hardness will be
stopped. It was found after the experimental filters were filled that the
sand used in them contained more lime than sands from certain places
in the river. It would therefore probably be possible to select sand
containing less lime than that which was actually used in the experimental
filters.

Boiler Tests.

In order to put the filtered water to practical tests three 25 horse¬
power boilers were secured, as described in detail in the report of the
Resident Engineer, and operated for some months, one being supplied
with raw water, one with water from the mechanical filters, and one with
water from the sand filters. It appears from the results, given in detail
in the above mentioned report, that the boiler receiving the raw water
produced much the largest quantity of scale, but that this scale was soft
and readily removed. Both of the filtered waters produced a harder
scale, although less in quantity. The water filtered through the mechan¬
ical filters produced somewhat more scale than the water from the sand
filters and it also attacked the iron in places. The boilers were not
operated during the periods of greatest muddiness, and consequently
the boiler receiving the raw water probably compared more favor¬
ably with the boilers receiving the filtered waters than would have been
the case at other seasons of the year.

REPORT OF CONSULTING ENGINEER.

It thus appears that the sand filter produced effluents with rather
more than twice as much color and turbidity as the mechanical filters,
while the mechanical filters produced effluents with more than twice as
many bacteria as the sand filter. Temporary hardness was increased by
the sand filter, hut as shown above, there is reason for the belief that this
increase will not be continued. With the mechanical filters the permanent
hardness, or encrusting constituents, were increased 75 per cent., while
no increase occurred with the sand filter.

COST OP CONSTRUCTION OF FILTERS.

The question of relative costs of filters upon the different systems
is an important matter to be taken into consideration in deciding between
them, and estimates have been made of the cost of constructing and
operating sand and mechanical filters. The present consumption of
water in Pittsburgh is fifty million gallons daily. On some days the
consumption is much greater than the average for the year. It is nec¬
essary to provide filters for the maximum rather than for the average
consumption. In general, with a reservoir system like that at Pitts¬
burgh, it is safe to provide filter units having a nominal capacity fifty per
cent, above the annual average consumption, or for Pittsburgh seventy-
five million gallons daily. The twenty-five millions capacity between
the aggregate nominal capacity of the filters and the average annual
consumption is sufficient to allow the highest daily consumption to be
supplied with ease, and to serve as a reserve for cleaning, renewals, and
repairs.

In the estimates in each case sufficient land has been included to allow
the plant to be doubled, and estimates for some of. the structures not
capable of being readily enlarged are sufficient for a large increased con¬
sumption. The remaining items are of such nature that their cost would
be nearly proportional to the quantity of water to be provided. For our
present purpose, then, it may be taken as sufficiently exact to assume that
the cost of constructing filter plants will be directly proportional to the ca¬
pacities of the same, and the estimates given can be used for larger or
smaller plants, by the application of appropriate factors.

The estimates are as follows :—

The estimates for sand filters are for open filters with an effective
filtering area of twenty-five acres. The additional cost of covering with
a masonry vaulting would be $375,000.

The estimates for mechanical filters apply equally to the Warren and
Jewell Systems. While our tests were in progress the New York Filter
Manufacturing Company acquired the patents covering both systems,
and the prices are now uniform. It is probable that should mechanical
filters be adopted for Pittsburgh, it would be desirable to use a type of
filter differing somewhat from either the Warren or the Jewell Filters,
as used in our experimental tests. It is not believed, however, that any
required changes in design will affect materially the cost of the filters.

The pumping station in connection with the sand filters and storage
reservoir will operate against a greater head than the other pumping
stations, and its cost is therefore greater. With mechanical filters on
the south side of the river two independent plants are required, each
supplying a separate part of the city; and because of uncertainties in
the exact division of consumption in the two parts, the aggregate capacity
of the filters is taken as ten per cent, greater than that of a plant at one
point on the north side of the river. The cost of buildings, boilers,
pumps, electric lights, etc., is also materially greater, because two sepa¬
rate plants are required instead of one, and because the sites are much
less favorable to construction than that upon- the north side of the

river.

REPORT OF CONSULTING ENGINEER.

(SO

No estimates have been made of the cost of constructing mechanical
filters independent of the New York Filter Manufacturing Company, as
this company controls certain patents. After the expiration of these
patents it will be possible to construct mechanical filters independent of
this company, and perhaps at a smaller cost than the prices now asked.

Plans* are transmitted herewith, showing the locations of the various
structures and the land areas included in the various estimates and their
cost in detail; but as the exact location of filters can be varied if neces¬
sary, I would suggest that it should not be determined upon until after the
necessary land has been acquired. As I am not familiar with the value
of real estate in Pittsburgh, I shall rely upon you to correct my estimate
for land should that be necessary.

Interest has been taken on the entire estimated costs of the plants
at 3] per cent. Depreciation has been reckoned as follows:—No de¬
preciation has been allowed upon land. On the intake, pumps, boilers,
and mechanical filters an annual charge of 3.722 per cent, is made, which
sum, placed at three per cent, compound interest, is sufficient to produce
a fund equal to the original cost in twenty years. On the buildings and
all masonry and other more permanent structures an annual charge of
1.326 per cent, is made, which charge is sufficient, computed as above,
to produce a fund equal to the original cost in forty years. In computing
the depreciation the proportionate charges for engineering and contingen¬
cies have been allowed.

Some of the masonry structures included in the forty-year class
would be entirely permanent in character, and there would be no depre¬
ciation upon them. It is thought best, however, to make the charges

upon all structures, on the ground that with increasing population upon
the water-shed, it is not certain that the Allegheny River water, even
with filtration, will be a suitable source of supply for Pittsburgh at the
point now selected for a longer period than forty years, and it is therefore
advisable to provide for the payment of all indebtedness incurred on
account of this plant within that period of time.

With the mechanical filters, pumps, and other machinery, on which
depreciation is reckoned sufficient to replace them in twenty years, cer¬
tain parts will undoubtedly be in good order and capable of service much
longer than that period. Other parts of the machinery will require to
be replaced at much earlier dates. On the whole, it is believed that a
twenty-year life is a conservative estimate for the pumps and filters.
In the case of mechanical filters there is a reason for limiting the estimated
life of the plant not existing in the case of the pumps, namely, the probable
change in the types of filters, and consequent antiquation of the plant.

In the past the change in the types of mechanical filters has been
very rapid. At the present time no plant is in existence which has been
used for five years which would be considered as reasonably satisfactory.
The type of filter has, however, been much improved, and it would not
be fair to assume that changes will take place as rapidly in the future as
they have done in the past, and that the plant now constructed would
be incapable of future economical use in five years. On the other hand,
it is not safe to assume that the plant now installed will continue to be
reasonably satisfactory for a very long period of years; and aside from
the question of rusting, wearing, and breaking of parts, it is not believed
that it is prudent to take the life of these filters at more than twenty
years.

Pumping costs and operating expenses are reckoned on an average
daily consumption of fifty million gallons per day. The pumping costs
include in the first three estimates the costs of lifting water from the
river to the filters, and in the fourth estimate includes the cost of pumping
for the additional height and the cost of pumping the additional quan¬
tity of water required for washing filters. The operation of filters,
exclusive if coagulant, includes additional cost of pumping wash water,
labor, fuel, new sand, repairs, superintendence, and all costs connected
therewith.

The cost of sulphate of alumina is taken at $25.00 per ton, or two
dollars less than the current market price, as I am assured that with the
quantity which would be required it would be possible to secure it at
this price. The amount assumed, one grain per gallon, is somewhat
less than was used in our experiments, and is as small an amount as it is
believed that it will be possible to use to secure an effluent that would
be reasonably satisfactory. Should a larger quantity of sulphate of

68

REI-OKT OF CONSULTING ENGINEER.

alumina be employed to bring the bacterial efficiency up nearer to that
secured by sand filtration, the cost would be increased at the rate of
$0,187 P er million gallons for each tenth of a grain per gallon.

FINAL COMPARISONS, SAND AND MECHANICAL FILTERS.

The comparison between sand and mechanical filters stands briefly
thus:—With an amount of sulphate of alumina which makes the costs of
the two processes substantially equal, the mechanical filters yield effluents
containing from two to three times as many bacteria as the sand filters,
and are consequently two or three times as likely to transmit disease
germs, while, on the other hand, the effluents are clearer and more
nearly colorless. In the adaptability of the filtered water to mechanical
purposes the differences between the two will not be very great, but
such differences as there are will be in favor of sand filters. If the raw
water were very much more muddy than it is and contained less sewage,
the advantage would be on the side of the mechanical filters, or at least the
use of coagulant would be necessary. If, on the other hand, the water
were less muddy and contained more sewage and sewage bacteria, the
advantage would be decidedly with sand filters. Considering the fact
that mud is not likely to increase, while the amount of sewage entering
the river is sure to increase, and at a rapid rate, I believe that sand filters
will be more satisfactory to the city than mechanical filters.

NECESSITY OF A STORAGE RESERVOIR FOR RAW WATER.

Nearly all of the difficulties in treating the Allegheny River water
come at flood periods. It is only at these times that sand filters refuse to
give practically clear effluents, and it is at these times also that mechan¬
ical filters require more sulphate of alumina for coagulation than can
be neutralized by the lime in the water, and consequently the water
passes with inadequate purification. The periods of excessive turbidity
at Pittsburgh are of short duration. The worst water rarely lasts over
twenty-four hours, and in no case, over three or four days. Moderately
turbid waters sometimes continue for a week or more, but not of such
a degree as to give serious trouble in their purification.

The difficulties with very turbid waters would be entirely eliminated
by the construction of a reservoir large enough to hold a ten days’
supply of water, and estimates for such a reservoir have been made in
connection with sand filtration. The reasons for constructing such a
reservoir are almost equally urgent with mechanical filtration, and the
cost of a mechanical filtration plant in place of the sand filters in con¬
nection with such a reservoir would not differ materially from that of
the plant covered by the second estimate. With raw water as clear as
that which this reservoir would assure at all times, the advantages

would all lie with sand filtration and it has therefore not been necessary
to take up in further detail mechanical filtration in connection with this
reservoir.

The reservoir site is a run on the north side of the river, conveniently
situated with reference to the proposed location of other parts of the
work. The natural drainage area tributary to this site is about five
square miles, and the natural run-ofif from this area would flow into the
reservoir, reducing slightly the amount to be pumped from the river.
The population upon the water-shed is entirely rural, and is roughly
estimated at sixty per square mile. The water secured from it would he
fully equal in quality to that from the Allegheny River.

In rainy weather the inflow into the basin from its own water-shed
would be the largest, and the water received in this way would be quite
turbid. The reservoir is so large, however, that it is believed this
turbid water would not reach the outlet until it had been so long detained
in the reservoir as to have deposited most of its sediment, and the
water could thus be drawn from the reservoir to the filters at all times
nearly free from suspended matters. In the same way, if it should be
necessary to pump somewhat muddy water from the river to the reser¬
voir, a very thorough sedimentation would take place before the water
passed from the reservoir to the filters.

The construction of this reservoir would add materially to the cost
of filtration, and its chief advantage would consist in that it would be
possible at all times to supply perfectly clear water. We have demon¬
strated, however, from our experimental plant, that with sedimentation
not exceeding twenty-four hours, it is possible to secure effluents at all
times with only slight turbidities; and it is a question whether the re¬
moval of the last trace of turbidity is worth the additional cost of nearly
half a million dollars which this reservoir represents. It would seem
for the present to be the wiser policy to construct filters with only a
sedimentation basin capacity equal to the average daily consumption ; and
if at some future time it is found that the remaining turbidity in the
effluents justifies the additional expense, the reservoir can be added, and
the space occupied by the sedimentation basins can then be utilized for
extending the filters to meet the increased consumption. Sedimentation
basins have been built over into filters repeatedly in European filtration
plants, and it is often possible to utilize them in this way to very good
advantage.

other methods ok filtration considered.

Several other methods of filtration have received our attention. One
of these, namely, the Worms Tile System, was examined experimentally
at some length. This system is covered by certain patents, and the

70

RfiPOKT OK CONSISTING ENGINEER.

owners of these patents have informed us that the cost of tiles would he
twenty dollars each. To supply the quantity of water required hy our
estimates at the rates of filtration found possible in the experimental
trials, the cost of tiles alone would exceed $1,000,000. When this amount
is added to the cost of setting up and connecting the tiles, and the cost
of necessary appurtenances and land intake, pumping station, pure water
reservoir, etc., it is apparent that the cost of the plant will not be less
than two and one-half million dollars, and may reach three million dollars.
There is reason to think that the operating expenses would be greater
than the operating expenses of either sand or mechanical filters; and
as the experiments did not give assurance that the requisite quantity of
pure water could be secured under all conditions, this process has not been
considered further.

Several other processes have been called to our attention which in¬
volve the use of more or less peculiarly constructed sand filters, at rates
of filtration several times as great as are commonly used for sand filters.
Without raising the question of the adaptability of these systems to other
conditions, it is certain that no system of sand filtration without coagu¬
lant will effectively clarify the Allegheny River water at rates more
than several times as great as those which were used during our experi¬
ments.

The use of asbestos applied to the surface of sand filters has also
been suggested. This process is covered by a patent, and if used would
hardly increase the yield or efficiency of sand filters. It might reduce
the operating expenses, and if so could be adopted and used at any time
upon sand filters as ordinarily built, no special construction being neces¬
sary with it.

The question of the use of other coagulants than sulphate of alumina
has not been considered by us. The report of Mr. Fuller upon the
experiments at Louisville treats this matter quite fully; and there is no
reason to suppose that any other coagulant could be substituted to
advantage for the sulphate of alumina used in our experiments, and which
serves as a basis of our estimates.

The use of natural filtration by galleries built in the bed of the Alle¬
gheny River has been suggested to us, with various modifications. A
number of water supplies are now being drawn from the river in this
way in the neighborhood of Pittsburgh, and these supplies have been
investigated, as described in detail in the report of the Resident Engineer.
It may be said in regard to them that the water thus secured is always
harder than that secured by ordinary sand filtration, owing to the fact
that the water is much longer in the sand, and comes in contact with a
larger body of it. The difficulty of securing an adequate supply of
water also increases much more rapidly than the required water quan-

tity. A million gallons per day is secured with comparative ease, but
with two or three million gallons, the difficulties are very much increased,
and with very large supplies they become almost insurmountable. The
reason for this is that the amount of water which can be drawn from
any stretch of river is limited, and that a very small crib serves to take
the quantity of water which can be drawn from a certain area of river
bottom. When the crib is enlarged, or other cribs are built in the
neighborhood, they interfere with each other, drawing from the same
area, with the result that the supply is not increased in proportion to
the size of the cribs; and in order to secure a very large supply, it is
necessary to construct structures extending over such a large extent of
river bottom as to make their expenses absolutely prohibitive.

The use of domestic filters in each house in the city, to filter drinking
water only, has been suggested. If the whole supply should be so filtered,
the expenditure would be many times greater than that of a municipal
plant. With only the drinking water filtered, it is not clear that the
ultimate cost would be less than with one large plant, and the city would
still suffer from many of the disadvantages of the present supply.

auxiliary supply of unfiltered water for manufacturing purposes.

It has been suggested that the excessive consumption of water in
Pittsburgh is due to the enormous quantity of water required for manu¬
facturing purposes, and that it would be possible to build an auxiliary
system for supplying unfiltcred river water to these establishments,
thereby reducing very much the quantity of water to be filtered.

As a matter of fact, the manufacturing establishments do not use as
much water as is commonly supposed, or at least they do not draw
such quantities from the city mains. Nearly all of the establishments
requiring water in large quantities, for purposes for which the river
water in its raw state is suitable, have their own pumping plants, and
are able to pump water for their own use much cheaper than it can be
supplied from the present city works, or from works especially con¬
structed for that purpose. The reason for this is that while the pump¬
ing of water in relatively small quantities in various places is more ex¬
pensive than pumping a large quantity at a central point, there are
several important advantages in the arrangement. Each manufacturer
pumps only against the head which he requires, and thereby saves all
the friction in pipes and additional head to which a central plant would
require to pump, because it would have to meet the highest pressure
required by any one and not the average pressure; and further, the
entire cost of the distribution system is saved, and this forms a large part
of the cost of a central plant.

The estimated cost of an auxiliary pumping station for unfiltered

72

KBPOKT OF CONSULTING ENGINEF.1I.

water, with intake and distribution system along the river fronts in that
part of the city now supplied by the city works, is $565,000. If the
system should be extended to supply also the south side of the
Monongahela River, the cost is estimated at $660,000. This system
would have a maximum capacity of twenty - five million gallons
per day, and would be suitable for the supply of an average daily con¬
sumption of one-half this amount, or one-fourth of the quantity of water
now supplied from the Brilliant pumping station.

The size of filters to be constructed at Brilliant, in case this amount
of water should be diverted from the regular to the auxiliary supply,
could be reduced one-fourth. The saving in the cost of filters would
be, in round numbers, $400,000, and the saving in the cost of operation,
including preliminary pumping, but exclusive of interest and deprecia¬
tion, would be about $20,000 per annum. The cost of operating the
auxiliary system may be taken as equivalent to the cost of pumping an
equivalent quantity at Brilliant.

The use of an auxiliary system under the conditions assumed above
would thus result, in round numbers, in an increased outlay of $165,000,
and a reduction in operating expenses of $20,000 per annum. It would
also make necessary certain changes in the distribution system of the
water works, the importance of which cannot now be accurately estimated.
The total saving would be comparatively small.

The above computation is based upon the assumption that one-fourth
of the supply could be diverted to the auxiliary system. Let us consider
now what the facts are in this respect. The quantities of water supplied
to manufacturing and business establishments, as measured by meters and
as estimated by the water assessors for the last fiscal year, amounted to
an average of 3,700,000 gallons per day. A part of this quantity was
used for purposes for which the raw river water would not be suitable.
It should be remembered in this connection that an auxiliary pumping
system would be located further down the river than the Brilliant Station,
and the waters from it would be polluted by sewage from one
of the city sewers, and would be far more objectionable hygienically
than the present supply. Further, it would carry at least four times as
much sediment as the present supply, as the water would be pumped
into the pipes direct, without the removal of any sediment, while at
least three-fourths of the sediment is now removed in the Highland Park
Reservoir.

Many establishments included in the above list use water for purposes
for which raw water of this quality would be utterly unsuitable, and I
estimate that at least one-half of the quantity could not be diverted.
There remain 1,850,000 gallons per day which could apparently be di¬
verted to an auxiliary supply. Even if we add to this a liberal allowance

AMOUNT OK WATER AND RESTRICTION OK WASTE.

T.\

for the slip of meters and double the amounts estimated by the water
assessors, we have only three million gallons per day which could be
diverted, or one-fourth of the amount contemplated in the above estimate.
This quantity is so small that a station supplying it would cost more,
both in construction and in operation, than the saving to be effected
in the cost of filtration by its diversion. It appears then that unless
there is a demand for water of this quality far in excess of anything
which now appears, it will be utterly impracticable to effect a saving to
the department by the introduction of an auxiliary water supply.

There is a further important objection to an auxiliary pumping
station, namely, that the employees in shops where such water is used
are sure to drink it at times. The sanitary objections to such supplies
are shown in the report of Prof. Sedgwick.

If the consumption of water should keep pace with the increasing
population and increase faster than the population, as it has been doing
in recent years, a filter plant would require to be provided of enormous
dimensions and prohibitive cost. Fortunately this is not the case. The
experience of Pittsburgh is not different from that of other American
cities which have supplied water at fixed rates and without limiting in
any way the amount of water used and wasted by consumers. Under
these conditions the volume of water pumped always increases faster
than the population, and is only limited by the fact that after a time the
cost of securing and distributing the water becomes so great as to make
rational measures imperative.

Natural gas was formerly sold in Pittsburgh at a fixture rate, the
amount charged for heating a bouse depending upon its size, etc. The
practice has, however, been given up, and all gas is now sold by meter.
The temptations to abuse the privilege of using water supplied at a fixture
rate are quite as great as they are in the case of gas. In fact the oppor¬
tunities are better, because gas cannot be discharged unburned into a
house without making it uninhabitable, and if an excessive quantity
of gas is burned, the house becomes too warm for comfort.. There is
thus a certain physical limit upon the amount of gas which can be used
in a house. With water, however, this is not so. Faucets can be left
open and leaks allowed to remain unrepaired, and the water allowed to
flow to the sewers in absolutely unlimited quantities without benefiting
any one. It has been found by careful and extended observation in both
American and European cities that in the best class of modern houses an
abundant supply of water for domestic purposes does not exceed from
twenty to forty gallons per capita daily. Only in the very largest places,
where many servants are kept, and much water is used for lawn sprink¬
ling, do the quantities become as high as fifty or sixty gallons per capita
daily.

As an average for American conditions, thirty gallons may be taken
as a liberal allowance for all the water which can be used. The popula¬
tion now supplied with water from the Pittsburgh works is about
220,000. The quantity of water required to supply the needs of this popu¬
lation at thirty gallons per capita daily is 6,600,000 gallons. There were

use during the last fiscal year, 692,000,000 gallons, and in other such
establishments it was estimated by the assessors that 654,000,000 gallons
were used. Assuming that the meters registered only two-thirds of the
water in places where they are used, and that the assessors estimated
only one-half of the water used in the remaining places, the water used
in all manufacturing and business establishments was 6,400,000 gallons
daily.

The amount of water used in schools, hospitals, public buildings,
public fountains, for street sprinkling, etc., is rarely more than five gallons
per capita daily. On this basis 1,100,000 gallons would be required daily
for public purposes. Assuming further that there were unavoidable
wastes of various kinds from the water works equal to the public uses, or
1,100,000 gallons, we have 15,200,000 gallons daily, or about sixty-nine
gallons per capita as the amount of water legitimately used in the city
of Pittsburgh. The amount pumped is more than three times this
quantity, and it is a fair statement that two-thirds of the water now pumped
is wasted without benefit to any one.

Various ways have been suggested for preventing the waste of water.
One of these ways has been very much more successful than any other.
This is the method which has been universally adopted for the sale of
gas, namely, the use of meters. Under this system the water supplied
to each consumer is measured and payment demanded according to the
amount used.

There is often a prejudice against the use of meters, which arises
from the thought that people will be limited in the use of water, and
cannot use as much as they desire without making excessive payments
for it. There is also the feeling that if the consumption of water in the
city should be reduced to one-half or one-fourth of the present consump¬
tion, each person would have to get along with one-half or one-fourth
as much water as is now used. As a matter of fact, this idea does not
present even remotely the truth. A majority of people are reasonably
careful in the use of water and do not waste excessive amounts. A
majority of families in Pittsburgh probably use at the present time less
than the amount of water mentioned in the above estimate. It is the
minority of people, who, by carelessness or willful waste, discharge water
into the sewers in large quantities, and increase enormously the amount
of water which must be provided, and consequently the cost of water to
all the people.

At the present time the loss inflicted by the careless or wasteful
people is borne by the whole city. If a meter is put on every service,
the people who waste water will have to pay for it, and others will be
relieved from the burden, and the cost of water to them will be materially
reduced. The cost to the people who are now wasting water will also be

REI’ORT OF CONNl’I.TING ENGINEER.

7<>

reduced, if they are willing to learn by experience, as nearly all of them
will, that they cannot waste water without paying for it.

The cost of installing a meter system is considerable, but it is very
much less than the cost of installing the pumps, filters, reservoirs, and
larger mains that will be necessary in case unrestricted waste is allowed
to continue. The meter system also results in a saving in water rates
to all people except those who under previous conditions are fraudulently
or through carelessness securing quantities of water largely in excess of
those to which they are entitled. I therefore most earnestly recommend
that the city of Pittsburgh adopt forthwith the meter system, and I would
make the following suggestions in regard to it:—

(1) That the city should own and set all meters, and assume all care
of them.

(2) That the Superintendent should have the right to meter any
service at his discretion.

(3) That all services should be metered commencing with the largest
and those where unusual use or waste is thought likely to exist.

(4) That wherever a service is metered all water shall be paid for
at meter rates, excepting that the sum charged shall not be less than
three-fourths of the present fixture rates, and this sum shall be collected
in all cases where less than a corresponding amount of water is used.

(5) That all schools, hospitals, and public institutions now supplied
with water free or at a nominal charge, shall be metered; that the amount
of water actually required by each shall be estimated by the Superin¬
tendent, and notice thereof sent to the respective institutions; and that
in case water is drawn by any of them in excess of the amount thus
allowed, the excess shall be paid for at the regular meter rates. In case
of another city department, the excess shall be paid out of the appropria¬
tions of that department.

After the system has been so far introduced that the revenue derived
from the sale of water is assured, the minimum rate should be reduced to
one-half the fixture rate, or to such other amount as the financial condi¬
tion of the water works will justify, and when all services are metered
and the fixture rate is abolished, the minimum rate should be determined
by a simpler schedule than the present fixture rate.

This arrangement will allow all parties taking water at fixture rates
to save one-fourth of their present bills, and at the same time will assure
the department an ample revenue to meet its present expenses, and the ex¬
penses of a filter plant when it is installed.

Cities Which Have Adopted the Meta System.

The meter system has been adopted and applied to all consumers by
a number of European cities, notably by Berlin, and by a few American

MKTKK SYSTEM.

77

cities, namely, Atlanta, Yonkers, and Madison. It has been adopted and
applied to all services except the smaller domestic services by a much
larger number of American cities,—Milwaukee, Providence, Syracuse,
Worcester, Fall River, Hoboken, Lawrence, Manchester, Utica, Brock¬
ton, and Pawtucket have adopted in this way, and having more than
half of their services metered. In addition to the above; New York,
San Francisco, Kansas City, Lowell, Nashville, Toledo, Dayton, Des
Moines, Peoria, Springfield, Quincy, Bay City, and Taunton have metered
more than a quarter of their services, and nearly all cities which have
started upon the introduction of the meter system are extending its use
as circumstances permit.

Equitable Basis for Meter Rates.

The amount of money now obtained from the sale of water is about
$740,000 per annum. This is on the basis of about fifty million gallons
per day. With filters installed of this capacity, the operating expenses,
interest and depreciation charges will amount to about $190,000 per
annum. The cost of maintaining a meter system will not exceed $40,000.

The amount of money now raised by the water W'orks is in excess
of the operating expenses and interest and sinking fund charges for the
water works. The balance is transferred to other city departments.
Assuming that the works are to be maintained on a basis as profitable
to the city as at present, the amount of revenue to be raised after the
filter plant and meter system are installed, and with the quantity of
water pumped as at present, is $970,000 per annum, or less than 5^ cents
for every thousand gallons of water pumped.

It is found, however, that it is impossible to operate a water works
system so that all of the water will be accounted for. In the best
German practice, with all the services metered, sometimes as much as
90 per cent, of all the water pumped is accounted for. This, however,
is rare, and has never been reached in American practice. Sixty per
cent, is a good American average, and on this basis the average meter rate
should be about nine cents per thousand gallons.

With very large consumers the rate should be somewhat less than
for small consumers, and eight cents, or the present minimum rate, may
be taken in these cases as not far from right, while the domestic rate
must be maintained considerably higher on account of the greater slip
in the small meters and waste and leakage from service pipes.

This basis, however, would not be a safe basis to assume in adopt¬
ing the meter system. As I have shown, the greater part of the water
pumped at the present time is wasted. With the meter system installed
the consumption will be very much reduced, and consequently the
revenue. A large part of the operating expenses, namely, the cost of

REPORT OP CONSULTING ENGINEER.

78 '

filtering and pumping, are nearly proportional to the quantity of water
pumped, and will be reduced. The general administrative expense will
not be reduced by reducing the consumption.

If the consumption should be reduced one-third at once, it is esti¬
mated that the operating expenses, including the operating expenses
of filters, would be reduced by $120,000, leaving $850,000 to be derived
from the sale of twelve billion gallons of water, or seven cents pel
thousand gallons. Assuming that the meters can be depended upon
to register sixty per cent, of the water pumped, the meter rate upon
this basis should average twelve cents per thousand gallons, and should
be somewhat less for large consumers and somewhat more for domestic
purposes.

Changing radically the system of charging for water invariably
results in some uncertainty as to the amount of revenue to be derived
from the new schedule, and to prevent the possibility of a deficit which
might embarass the administration, I beg to suggest a rate of sixteen
cents per thousand gallons for domestic purposes, and gradually re¬
ducing with increased quantities to the present minimum rate of eight
cents per thousand gallons for the largest takers. In order to protect
the city against serious reduction in revenue, in case the consumption
should fall off more than is anticipated, the minimum rates are fixed
at three-fourths of the present fixture rates, which will assure the city
of a large revenue in any event, and will, at the same time, allow the
takers to secure a twenty-five per cent, reduction in their present rates.
It is necessary to allow them to save something, otherwise the objection
to the change will be very great.

Cost of Installing Meter System.

There is a difficulty in estimating the cost of installing meters in
Pittsburgh, on account of the very inadequate information regarding
service pipes. People supplied with water from the city works are taxed
according to the sizes of their houses, number of fixtures, etc., without
regard to the manner in which they are connected with the city pipes.
It will be necessary to have the service pipes straightened out in detail,
and to know just what connections there are with the city pipes, and
who is attached to each connection. In the absence of definite infor¬
mation regarding service pipes, only a rough estimate of the cost of
meters can be made. Judging from the experience of other cities, and
from such information regarding service pipes in Pittsburgh as can
be obtained, the cost of installing meters on every service will be about
$600,000.

In connection with the installation of meters, the service pipes should
be given a thorough overhauling, and this may increase the expense

somewhat above the figure mentioned. This work should be done,
however, whatever the cost, as the present system, or lack of system, in
attending to the distribution of water cannot fail to result in great loose¬
ness in the use of water, and in heavy losses to the city, which losses, I
believe, are far greater than the cost of putting the system in satisfactory
condition. It will, of course, be impossible to do this work all at once. I
would recommend that the work be begun at once, with an appropriation
of $100,000 for the first year, and carried on as rapidly as circumstances
will permit, the whole to extend over a period of perhaps five years.
The saving effected in preventing waste of water and in securing the
collection of revenue for water not now paid for, will fully pay for con¬
tinuing the work, and no further appropriations on this account need
be made.

With meters installed as recommended the consumption will stop
increasing and will gradually diminish. A filter plant suitable for the
present consumption will be sufficient to supply water to the population
resident within the present water limits for a period of at least twenty-
five years, or will be sufficient to supply water to the whole population
of the city, including those wards now supplied by water companies, for
at least fifteen years.

Should the present unrestricted use of water be allowed to continue,
a filter plant as proposed will have been outgrown almost before it is
completed, and additions will require to follow each other on a scale and
with the frequency which can hardly be estimated.

SUPPLY OF THE SOUTH SIDE WITH FILTERED WATER.

That part of the city of Pittsburgh south of the Monongahela River,
and having an estimated population of about 78,000, is supplied with
water by the Monongahela Water Company. As has been stated above,
the Allegheny is in every respect a more desirable source of supply than
the Monongahela River, and, from an engineering standpoint, it would
be better to supply this.part of the city with water from the Allegheny
than to attempt to filter the water of the Monongahela River. The
filters included in the above estimates are of sufficient capacity to supply
the whole of the city, including the South Side, in case the meter system
is introduced. In case the meter system should not be introduced, the
quantity of water required would be much greater, and to meet the
present consumption of the whole city a filter plant would be required
costing about $2,600,000; and to meet the estimated consumption in
1910 without meters, namely, 116,000,000 gallons, a plant would be
required costing over four million dollars. I have not considered this
question further, as arrangements for it, either by the city direct or
through the Monongahela Water Company, involve questions not of an
engineering nature.

GRAVITY SOURCES.

The country about Pittsburgh is rolling, with a general slope down¬
ward toward the west, and there is no land in the immediate neighbor¬
hood of the city high enough to yield a gravity supply of water. There
are valleys in the Allegheny mountains east and south of the city high
enough so that water from them could be taken by gravity to Pittsburgh.
The nearest water-sheds of this kind are those of certain tributaries of
the Youghiogheny and Kiskiminetis Rivers among the foot hills of the
mountains. Of these the most promising one which we have found is
the water-shed of Indian Creek. Indian Creek enters the Youghio¬
gheny River eight miles beyond Connellsville. Laurel Hill Creek, im¬
mediately beyond Indian Creek, has a smaller water-shed and is farther
from Pitsburgh. The Loyalhanna above Ligonier, the next water-shed
to the north of Indian Creek, has not a sufficient drainage area above
the town, where only it could be taken.

Farther away, beyond Laurel Ridge, the Conemaugh River at Johns¬
town has a sufficient drainage area and a sufficient elevation. Its
valley is occupied by the Pennsylvania Railroad, which would make the
construction of an adequate reservoir difficult, if not impossible. Stony
Creek, south of Johnstown, is also sufficient in size and elevation, but
its valley is occupied by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. The distances
from Pittsburgh are also greater than the distance from Indian Creek.

South of Indian Creek and Laurel Hill Creek are the Castleman,
the Youghiogheny and the Cheat Rivers. Any of these could be taken
at points high enough to flow to Pittsburgh by gravity. It has been
suggested that the water from one of these streams might be brought
to Pittsburgh through a conduit. It is doubtful if the flows of any of
them could be depended upon at all times to yield a sufficient quantity
of water for Pittsburgh without storage reservoirs. With moderate
sized storage reservoirs any of them would be ample. All these streams
have rapid currents, and during heavy rains they become very muddy,
although the turbidity disappears quickly afterward. If these waters
should be brought to Pittsburgh without sedimentation, or with only
such sedimentation as could be secured in a comparatively small res¬
ervoir through which the flood currents would have to be allowed to
flow, the city would suffer in only less degree from mud than it now
does. All projects of this nature have therefore been dismissed, and
in case any of these streams should be utilized, it must be in connection
with adequate storage reservoirs, and when so considered the cost would
become much greater than that of a supply from a storage reservoir on
Indian Creek.

ORAVITY SOURCES.

81

Indian Creek.

The Western Water Company had acquired certain property upon
Indian Creek, and had made certain investigations in regard to its de¬
velopment for water supply purposes, and this information has been
put at our disposal by officers of the Company. In case the city should
decide to secure its water in this way, it would have to acquire the
property of the Western Water Company, together with such other real
estate as might be necessary.

Preliminary examination indicated that many of the conditions were
favorable for securing a water supply from this source. The services
of Mr. Emil Kuichling, Chief Engineer of the Rochester Water Works,
and an engineer of large experience in water works construction, were
secured to investigate more in detail the possible development of this
supply, and he has made a report thereon with estimates of cost, which
I transmit to you herewith. You will find in it a description of the
project, and estimates in greater detail.

Chief Features of the Project.

This project involves the construction of a conduit line, from the
reservoir to Pittsburgh, a distance of forty-seven miles, forty-two miles
being steel pipe, and five miles tunnel. The dam required would be
higher than any dam yet constructed. The water in the new reservoir
would be 238 feet above the present stream, and the total height of
masonry would be 270 feet.

The highest dam yet constructed or undertaken is the new Cornell
dam for the water works of the city of New York, in which the water
line of the finished reservoir will be 149 feet above the original water
level, and the extreme height of masonry will be about 290 feet. The
general height will be considerably less. The Indian Creek reservoir
would have an area of 2,000 acres, and a capacity of forty billion gallons.

Quantity of Water.

The quantity of water which can be developed from the Indian
Creek water-shed is estimated at ninety-two million gallons daily. By
adding Laurel Creek the supply could be increased to an amount which
is estimated at one hundred and thirty million gallons daily.

The flow of Indian Creek in summer is much less than the amount
above estimated. The project involves the construction of a dam large
enough to hold a year’s supply of water when the city is using seventy-
five million gallons daily, and the heavy winter and spring flows would
be stored and made available during those months of the year when the
flow of the stream is less. The dam is also large enough to hold some
of the water of wet years and allow it to be drawn in dry years.

82

REPORT OF CONSULTING ENGINEER.

Quality of Water.

The water would be very soft; softer than the Allegheny River
water. It would be nearly colorless. Under some conditions it would
be subject to disagreeable tastes and odors, although it is hardly probable
that these conditions would be of frequent occurrence or would become
generally offensive. As there is but comparatively little population
upon the water-shed, and that of such a nature as to admit of ready
control, and owing to the purifying actions which take place in very
large reservoirs, the water would compare favorably with the best water
supplies of the country in quality, and in its natural state would be
equivalent in purity to the Allegheny River water after filtration.

Difficulties with Coal Lands.

The pipe lines from the reservoir to the city would pass over many
miles of coal fields. As the coal is removed settlements occur, and there
would be danger that the pipes might be broken and the supply cut off.
For this reason it is not considered safe to use a single line of pipe,
but the estimate is for two independent lines, connected at selected
points on solid ground, so that in case of a break in either line, all of
the water could be sent through the other line until the break could be
repaired.

Cost of Work-

The total cost of works for the introduction of water from Indian
Creek is estimated at $[3,568,500. This provides two lines of pipe
capable of delivering together seventy - five million gallons per day.
Owing to fluctuations in the daily consumption, it would not be safe
to depend upon these pipes after the average consumption reached
sixty-five million gallons, and at that time a third pipe would have to
be added. When the average consumption reached ninety-two million
gallons per day, additonal water sources would have to be added.
Laurel Hill Creek is the most obvious source to be taken for this pur¬
pose, and estimates have been made of the cost of adding Laurel Hill
Creek to the system, and of adding a fourth pipe line to the city. These
last estimates are less accurate than those relating to Indian Creek, be¬
cause of less complete data regarding Laurel Hill Creek.

COMPARISON OF THE COST OF A GRAVITY SUPPLY AND THE
PRESENT SUPPLY FILTERED.

I have prepared a diagram showing the annual charges for a gravity
supply and for the present supply filtered, first, upon the supposition
that the meter system will be adopted, and, second, upon the supposi¬
tion that it will not be adopted, and that the consumption will increase

comparison of gravity AND KILTKREI) 8UPPUKS.

83

gradually to 300,000,000 gallons per day, which diagram is presented
herewith.* 'I he charges included in this diagram represent all costs of
delivering the water into the distributing reservoirs.

F01 the gravity supply these charges are made up as follows:—
Interest is reckoned at 3.25 per cent, on the total expenditure. For
the cost of the steel pipe lines, sinking fund payments are taken at 1.326
per cent, of the cost, sufficient with compound interest to replace the
pipes at the original cost at the expiration of forty years. Sinking fund
payments on all the rest of the expenditures are taken at 0.6133 per
cent., sufficient to provide for the payment of bonds at the expiration
of sixty years. To these sums are added maintenance expenses, amount¬
ing to $14,000 per annum.

These charges amount to $582,500 per annum, with the original
plant, which will suffice until the average consumption reaches sixty-
five million gallons daily. They will then be increased with the third
pipe line to $722,300 per annum, and will then remain constant until
the consumption reaches ninety-two million gallons daily. With the
addition of Laurel Hill Creek and a fourth pipe line, they will be in¬
creased to $978,000, and will then remain constant until the consumption
reaches one hundred and thirty million gallons per day, after which new
supplies will have to be found.

In computing the amount of water required, it is assumed that the
wards now supplied by private water companies will be supplied from
the city works after 1905. The exact date is not of material importance
in the estimates. The relative costs would not be materially changed if it
should be taken a few years earlier or later.

The costs of maintaining the present supply and of filtering it are
computed as follows:—The total cost of maintenance of filters, includ¬
ing interest, depreciation, and operating expenses under the first scheme,
page 66, are taken at $192,184 per annum. To this is added the cost
of pumping the water from llrilliant to the distributing reservoirs. The
present cost is $8.00 per million gallons, and when the new reservoir is
completed it may be estimated that one-half of the water will be pumped
to it at a cost of $6.00 per million gallons. The total cost of pumping
will then average $7.00 per million gallons, or $127,750 per annum for
fifty million gallons daily. To this must be added an allowance for
the depreciation of the machinery at the Brilliant pumping station, which
is estimated at $22,000 per annum, making a total annual cost of
$342,000 for fifty million gallons of filtered water per day delivered in
the reservoirs. No allowance is made for interest on the cost of the
Brilliant pumping station, as the city now owns it, and no further capital
outlay is required in connection with it as long as the consumption does
* See Plate No. 10, opposite Page 84.

not exceed the amount mentioned. Renewals are provided for in the
charge for depreciation.

For consumption in excess of fifty million gallons per day the costs
of construction and operation are taken as increasing in proportion to
the quantity filtered, but with no addition for land and certain struc¬
tures provided in the original estimate, large enough to allow the plant
to be doubled; and it is further assumed that additional pumping ma¬
chinery will be required at Brilliant, on which the interest as well as
the depreciation is reckoned. The annual charges computed in this
way amount to $342,000 for fifty million gallons daily, and $6,700 per
annum for each additional million gallons.

No account has been taken of the fact that some of the bonds would
be ultimately retired by the sinking fund charges, and interest thereby
reduced. On the more perishable parts of the plants depreciation only
has been reckoned, and it is assumed that this depreciation would
replace the parts when necessary and that the indebtedness would remain
the same. Should it be inexpedient to renew them for any reason,
however, the accumulated depreciation charges would suffice to pay off
the outstanding bonds. On the more permanent parts of the plant sink¬
ing fund charges have been taken sufficient to retire the indebtedness
after forty years for the filtered supply and after sixty years for the gravity,
supply. No reduction in capital expense could then be expected within
these periods.

It is estimated that filters could be put in service tw r o years earlier
than the gravity supply, construction being commenced at the same time,
and the charges arc assumed as increasing from nothing to the full
amount at a uniform rate during the period of construction, as plotted in
the diagram.

Comparison of Costs.

Comparing the aggregate annual charges for the two systems with
meters, we have:—

The aggregate estimated charges for fifty years are thirty-four million
dollars for the gravity supply, and twenty-three million for the present
supply with filtration. The gravity supply will thus cost in that time
forty-eight per cent, more than the present supply with filtration.

CONCLUSION* AND IIECOMMKNDATIONS.

85

An important difference between the schemes is the way in which
money is required. In the gravity scheme the capital expenditure must
be met practically all at one time whether the full amount of water is
wanted or not. With filtration and pumping the capital expenditure
required at first, although considerable, is only a sixth of that required
for the gravity scheme, and the operating expenses are only incurred
as water is required, and in proportion to the amount needed. With
the gravity scheme it is obvious that the only admissible procedure is
to construct a dam and tunnel capable of delivering the whole available
supply of the water-shed at one operation. This entails a heavy burden
for interest and sinking funds for a long period of years.

With the filtration and pumping scheme, on the other hand, only so
much money need be spent as will provide a supply for the immediate
requirements of the city, and further expenditure need be made only as
the growth of the city demands it. If the regulations regarding the
sale of water suggested to you should be adopted, no extensions will be
required for a long period of years, and the charges under the filtration
scheme will be much less than under the gravity scheme.

The Indian Creek scheme is certainly not to be carried out in a less
complete manner than that contemplated in our estimates. It would
never do to have to cut a second tunnel through the mountain, or to
raise a dam of the magnitude of the one which must be built in any
event, or to have the city left without water by a break in a single
pipe line. To carry it out as estimated requires an expenditure of
money at once which would load the city of Pittsburgh with a debt which
the city ought not lightly to assume. On the other hand, the pumping
and filtration scheme can be proceeded with at an expenditure so moderate
that all charges can be readily met from the income of the department
without embarrassing the city in any way.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS.

I have shown that your present water supply is seriously objection¬
able, because of the mud which it carries, and because of the polluting
matters which enter the river. By filtration the mud and the effects of
pollution can be effectively removed.

It is feasible to introduce a gravity supply of excellent water from
practically unpolluted sources, but the cost of doing it will be six times
as great as the cost of installing filters. The operating expenses of
filters are greater, but allowing for them, the cost of the gravity supply
is much greater than the cost of your present supply with filtration. I
therefore recommend that the present supply should be continued in use,
and that it should be filtered.

8<>

REPORT OF CONSULTING ENGINEER.

Two methods of filtration have been examined, either of which is
capable of furnishing at all times sufficient water free from mud or
objectionable turbidity. Of these systems, one, namely, sand filtration,
removes more completely the effects of pollution than does the other,
namely, mechanical filtration. I therefore recommend the adoption of
sand filtration.

The city is now wasting several times as much water as it uses.
The experience of other cities shows that the consumption can be greatly
reduced by the adoption of the meter system for the sale of water, and
the cost of filtration and pumping can be kept within reasonable limits.
I recommend the adoption of the meter system.

A filter plant suitable of supplying an annual average consumption
of fifty million gallons per day, and with a maximum capacity one-half
greater, will supply the whole city, including those wards not now supplied
front the city works, until the population of the city reaches half a
million.

The general arrangement of such a plant has been indicated in
connection with the estimates for the various filter projects. It would
consist of a pumping station on the north side of the river, pumping
water to sedimentation basins holding fifty million gallons, from which
it would flow to open sand filters with an effective filtering area of
twenty-five acres; thence to a covered pure water reservoir, and thence
through a tunnel under the river to the Brilliant pumping station. The
cost of constructing such a plant, with all accessories complete, is esti¬
mated at one million, six hundred and ninety-one thousand (1,691,000)
dollars. To this must be added the cost of the necessary land, which is
estimated at four hundred and twenty thousand ($420,000) dollars, and an
appropriation of one hundred thousand ($100,000) dollars for commenc¬
ing the work of installing meters.

The total estimated cost of carrying out the works now recom¬
mended is two million, two hundred and eleven thousand ($2,211,000)
dollars.

I believe that this is the best way for the city of Pittsburgh to supply
itself with good, wholesome, and clear water, and I recommend its
adoption, and that the necessary arrangements for carrying it into effect
be adopted.

UPON A

Gravity Water Supply

FROM

INDIAN CREEK.

BY

EMIL KUICHLING, C. E.

EXHIBIT 3.

Allen Hazen, Esq., C. E.,

Consulting Engineer,

Pittsburgh Filtration Commission.

Dear Sir :—

In response to your request for a brief account of my investigations
of the plan lor supplying the city of Pittsburgh, Pa., with an adequate
quantity of potable water by gravity from Indian Creek, I beg leave to
submit the following general report:—

Source.

The source of the contemplated supply is Indian Creek, which flows
into the Youghiogheny River at a point about 42 miles southeasterly,
in an air line, from Highland Park Reservoir. This creek lies between
the two ranges of mountains called Chestnut Ridge and Laurel Hill,
and is doubtless the nearest available source from which a sufficient
volume of good water can be delivered by gravity alone into said reser¬
voir. Unfortunately, the mouth of the stream is nearly 100 feet below
the level of said reservoir, but its bed rises quite rapidly as we proceed
up the valley a few miles, until it attains an elevation of about 80 feet
above said reservoir at a point about one mile above Resler’s Run,
and near the small village of Springfield. Beyond this point, the general
slope of the valley is somewhat less, and the creek follows a tortuous
course through a series of alluvial flats which have formed at the foot of
the mountains.

As the entire drainage area of Indian Creek is only about 125.7
square miles, and the natural flow of the creek in periods of drought is
probably much less than the present water consumption in the city, it is
obvious that the availability of this source must be contingent upon the
construction, somewhere in the valley, of a capacious storage reservoir;
also that the elevation of the water surface therein, when drawn to its
minimum level, shall be such as to give an ample fall, in a distance not
less than 43 miles, to Highland Park Reservoir. Assuming for this fall
a grade of about 5.6 feet per mile in an economical steel pipe conduit, it
follows that the aforesaid minimum water level in the Indian Creek
storage reservoir must be at least 240 feet above the said city reservoir,
or at an elevation of at least 1,310 feet above sea level. On examining
the topographical map of the valley, however, it will be found that this
elevation in the bed of the stream occurs at a point about 4 miles above
the locality mentioned in the preceding paragraph, and also that the

90 HKl'ORT Cl "ON A GRAVITY WATRIt sm’I.Y.

drainage area at said point is only about 93 square miles, while at the first-
named place it is 112.2 square miles.

The elevation of the high-water level in the storage reservoir, on
the other hand, is dependent upon the volume which must be impounded
and the average area of the water surface. As will be shown below,
this volume should safely be about 27,400,000,000 gallons, which can be
represented by a stratum 84 feet thick with an average area of 1,000
acres, or by one of 42 feet thickness, with an average area of 2,000
acres. Such large areas and volumes, however, are difficult to obtain
in a relatively narrow and steep valley like that of Indian Creek, without
a very high dain; and as the ultimate cost of the project is largely in¬
fluenced by the dimensions of such a structure, it will be seen that its
proper location involves many careful computations for a variety of dif¬
ferent sites. For want of time, only three such sites have thus far been
considered, and their study has resulted in the provisional selection of
the dam site at a point in the valley about one mile above the mouth of
Resler’s Run, where the elevation of the creek’s bed is about 80 feet above
Highland Park Reservoir, or 1,150 feet above sea level.

The drainage area above this site is about 112 square miles. From
the best available data, it is estimated that 40 per cent, of this surface
is cleared land, while the remaining 60 per cent, is forest and brush.
As there are no coal seams or other minerals here which can be worked
profitably, the land is used only for farming and timber purposes; hence
it is found from the census of 1890 that the entire population on said
area, which embraces parts of the townships of Springfield and Salt Lick,
in Fayette County, and part of Donegal in Westmoreland County, does
not exceed 3,300, or an average density of 30 per square mile. A few
hamlets, such as Springfield, Mill Run, Indian Head and Jones Mills,
occur on the water-shed, but with the exception of Mill Run, they will
not be affected by the storage reservoir, nor will their presence be of
moment to the latter from a sanitary point of view.

Without entering upon a description of the various geological strata
which appear in the bed of the creek and sides of the valley, it may
briefly be stated that no coal seams are known to exist below the site
selected for the dam, and that the underlying rock is mostly a hard
sandstone, with an occasional layer of hard limestone; while above said
site, the rock appears to be chiefly a durable sandstone up to the coal
deposits, where shales overlaid by sandstone, etc., are found. So far
as could be determined within the available time, the coal is generally
above the high water level of the proposed reservoir, and hence the
latter will not interfere materially with future mining operations, if such
should ever be undertaken on a large scale. It is therefore extremely
probable that an excellent foundation for a high masonry dam can be

Ill

secured without difficulty, and that an ample supply of suitable material
for making such a dam can be obtained from conveniently situated
quarries.

From the character of the rocks, and the entire absence of any de¬
posits of glacial drift, it may be inferred that the surface soil is of a
sandy nature, as is in fact the case. For this reason, the water which
is yielded by such a drainage area will be very soft, and when stored in
a large reservoir it will soon become very clear. With proper pre¬
cautions to prevent the inflow of surface drainage waters in the vicinity
of the inlet to the conduit, the delivery of water cap be assured which
will usually be perfectly clear, and will be affected only in times of
freshet by a slight degree of turbidity due to mineral matter. It may,
however, be anticipated that the large proportion of timber land on the
water-shed will supply the water with more or less vegetable organic
matter, which may occasionally impart to it a slight color, along with
a disagreeable odor and taste, due to the development of certain minute
aquatic plants, such as are found in all natural lakes or ponds; but as
these conditions occur only at long intervals, and last only for a short
period of time, an objection on this account to such a source of potable
water supply cannot be regarded as well founded.

Taking all the conditions into account, as briefly outlined above, it
is fair to conclude that the source under consideration is excellent, and
that the quality of the water taken therefrom will compare favorably with
the best public supplies now in existence.

Available Quantity.

As mentioned in the foregoing, the drainage area above the site of
the proposed dam is 112 square miles, and the question now arises as
to the quantity of water which may be collected therefrom. Obviously
this depends chiefly upon the magnitude and seasonal distribution of
the rainfall; and as no systematic gaugings of Indian Creek have ever
been made, we can only apply to this water-shed the results of long-
continued observations of stream discharge in other similar drainage
basins which receive practically the same amount of rainfall. A brief
reference to the latter is therefore necessary.

So far as can be learned, the only gaugings of the rainfall on the
Indian Creek basin, are those which were made by agents of the Western
Water Company during the four years from 1893 to 1896, inclusive, and
which exhibit an average precipitation of 35.65 inches, with a minimum
of 31.11 inches in 1894. The rainfall at a number of stations around this
basin has, however, been observed more or less regularly and carefully
for some years past, and the data have been published in the Report
of the Secretary of Internal Affairs of Pennsylvania for the year 1895,

92

REPORT UPON A GRAVITY WATER SUPPLY.

and subsequently in the reports of the U. -S. Weather Bureau. From
these documents, the data relating to the following nine stations, nearest
to and surrounding the Indian Creek basin have been compiled and
studied along with the records relating to the latter:—

Averages. 8.4 42.80 33.42

According to the foregoing table, the average yearly rainfall of the In¬
dian Creek region is 42.80 inches, with an average minimum of 33.42 inches
in the driest year; but it must be remembered that the periods for
most of the stations embrace only a few years, and hence it is fair to
presume that the true average will be somewhat greater than 42.80
inches, and similarly, that the minimum at Indian Creek will be somewhat
less than the record of 31.n inches in 1894. On comparing these
figures with the precipitation records of other drainage basins where the
stream flow or run-off has been regularly and carefully measured for
many years, it will be found that they agree best with those of the Sud¬
bury River, near Boston, Mass.; and as this water-shed is classed among
those which yield the smallest percentage of the precipitation as stream
flow, it will be prudent to base our computations for storage and run-off
upon the data relating thereto.

These data are essentially as follows:—Area of water-shed, 75.2
square miles in a hilly and rocky region; mean annual rainfall for 23
years, from 1875 to 1897, inclusive, 45.77 inches; least rainfall for one
year, 32.78 inches in 1883; average depth of rainfall collected yearly or
running off in the river, 22.22 inches; least depth of rainfall collected,
11.19 inches, in 1883. From these records, which are considered to be
the most complete and carefully kept in this country, Mr. Frederic
P. Steams, the Chief Engineer of the Boston Metropolitan Water Board,

lias prepared a table showing the storage required per square mile of
water-shed for different rates of draft in gallons per day, in order that
the reservoir will not become empty in times of long-continued drought;
and by applying this table to the case under consideration, the necessary
capacity of the proposed reservoir can readily be determined.

For this purpose, it will be assumed that the draft will be 75,000,000
gallons per day, and that the area of the Indian Creek water-shed above
the dam is 112 square miles, of which about 3 per cent., or 3.28 square
miles (2,100 acres) is water surface, while the remaining 108.72 square
miles is land surface. The said draft is at the rate of 690,000 gallons per
square mile of land surface per day, and according to Mr. Stearns’ table
this requires a storage of 148,200,000 gallons per square mile of such sur¬
face, or a total of 16,112,300,000 gallons, which represents a supply of
75,000,000 gallons per day for 195 days, on the supposition that no rain
whatever falls on the water-shed, and that the reservoir loses by evapora¬
tion duringthis period a depth of 30 inches on an average area of i,8ooacres.

In view of the rapid growth and enormous water consumption of
Pittsburgh, however, and also the contingency that in a year of extreme
drought the rainfall may be so distributed as to yield even less than has
been experienced on the Sudbury River basin, it will be expedient to
consider that the effective storage volume shall be at least 50 per cent,
greater than the above figures, or about 27,400,000,000 gallons. This
represents 346 days’ supply at the rate of 75,000,000 gallons per day, or
282 days’ supply at the rate of 92,000,000 gallons per day, or 173 days’
supply at the rate of 150,000,000 gallons per day, without any rainfall,
and allowing for evaporation as before; and it also represents what is
required, according to Mr. Stearns’ table, for a daily supply of 92,000,000
gallons from the water-shed. Another reason for referring particularly
to this latter quantity, is that it represents the safe average capacity of
three conduit pipes to the city, as will be explained in further detail
below.

This storage may certainly be regarded as ample for the relatively
small drainage area of Indian Creek; but as it is entirely feasible in the
future to supplement the yield of this basin by the flow from the adja¬
cent area of 105 square miles of Laurel Hill Creek, it may be proper to
retain it for the purpose of making an estimate of the probable cost of the
work. Obviously the dimensions of the dam will thereby be considerably
increased, but the value of the work to the city will be in much larger
proportion. To indicate what is involved in this larger storage, it may
be mentioned that the height of the dam is thereby increased about 19
feet, its volume about 110,000 cubic yards, and its cost about $600,000;
hence to compare the resulting cost of this scheme with that of another
similar project which provides for an ultimate storage of only 16,112,-

94

REPORT ETON A GRAVITY WATER SUPPLY.

300,000 gallons, said increased cost should be deducted from the subjoined
estimate.

A few words may also be added here in relation to the possible
supplementary supply from Laurel Hill Creek, mentioned in the pre¬
ceding paragraph. It appears from the surveys and maps submitted by the
Western Water Company, that such a supply will require the construction
of a reservoir and dam of relatively moderate dimensions in this valley,
from which a tunnel conduit about 39,600 feet, or 7.50 miles long, will
convey the water thus collected into the proposed large Indian Creek
Reservoir. At the site of said dam, the Laurel Hill Creek valley is
much wider and the hillsides have easier slopes, than is the case at
Indian Creek, so that a high structure with great storage capacity will
be correspondingly more expensive. It is therefore suggested that said
dam shall be adequate for only a partial development of the water re¬
sources of the drainage area, and that in times of freshet the surplus be
allowed to escape. On this basis, the two water-sheds taken together
may be regarded as capable of affording the city a safe ultimate supply
of about 130,000,000 gallons per day during the driest three consecutive
years for which data are available; and it may also be remarked that this
is the longest period of time which experience has shown need be con¬
sidered in dealing with public water supplies.

Owing to the lack of sufficient topographical details relating to the
Laurel Hill Creek basin, it has been impossible to make an accurate
estimate of the cost of the supplementary dam and reservoir mentioned,
but from the data afforded by other similar works, it is believed that the
sum of $1,300,000 will suffice to provide all that may be needed in this
direction, while $1,700,000 will be required for the long tunnel to the
Indian Creek Reservoir. The cost oi the partial development of the
Laurel Hill Creek basin may therefore be estimated at about $3,000,000;
and in contrast thereto it may be mentioned that the estimate for the
Indian Creek Reservoir and appurtenances is about $5,480,000, exclusive
of any conduit work.

Consumption.

It has been assumed in the foregoing that the proposed gravity-
works shall be capable of delivering at least 75,000,000 gallons per day,
inasmuch as the present consumption in the city, during seasons of
greatest draft, has nearly reached this amount. Taking the entire esti¬
mated population at 300,000, we thus obtain the enormous rate of 250
gallons per head per day, which is practically twice as much as is com¬
monly regarded a very liberal allowance in other large cities. From
a recent compilation of the water consumption in 100 American cities
of over 30,000 inhabitants, which embraces every large city in the Union,

CONSUMPTION.

i)5

and an aggregate population of about 16,600,000, it is found that the
average is 112 gallons per capita, and that if classified according to popu¬
lation, the averages are as follows:—

This statement renders it clearly evident that the large consumption
in Pittsburgh is highly abnormal; and if the fact that many of the large
industrial establishments in the city are provided with independent sup¬
plies from the two rivers is taken into account, the conclusion cannot
be resisted that much of this excessive use of water from the public mains
is due to preventable waste. When it becomes necessary for a city to
obtain a good gravity supply from a locality so far distant as Indian
Creek, such a large consumption will inevitably lead to a great outlay
for construction and fixed annual charges, and the utmost restriction of
waste should become the rigid policy of the municipal administration.
With such measures properly enforced, the daily consumption may
readily be reduced to an average of 45,000,000 gallons, in which event
the provision of a delivery of 75,000,000 gallons per day from the gravity
conduit will be ample for a considerable term of years, or until a popula¬
tion of at least 400,000 is reached.

It may be remarked in this connection, that the ultimate capacity
of a gravity conduit must not be taken as the measure of the average
daily consumption in a city, as unavoidable increments in rate of use
usually occur at different seasons which, if continued for too long a
time, will exhaust the available supply in the distributing reservoir, and
thus lead to various dangers. From the experience of other cities, it
has beeen found that where the distributing reservoir holds only a few
days’ store of water, the average daily consumption should not exceed
87 per cent, of the ultimate capacity of the gravity conduit; or expressed
conversely, the seasonal increments of the consumption should not ex¬
ceed 15 per cent, of the average daily use throughout the year. When
this limit has been attained, an additional supply must soon be provided
in -order that the possibility of a water famine may be averted. On
this basis, an ultimate conduit capacity of 75,000,000 gallons per day
corresponds to a daily average use of about 65,000,000 gallons, which
should be a very liberal supply for a city of 435,000 inhabitants.

The growth of the city will, however, doubtless continue after the
said population has been attained, and hence any adequate plan for a
gravity supply must take such future growth into account, as was in¬
dicated in the foregoing description of the Indian Creek basin and its
probable capacity. The same comment is also applicable to the conduit.

which should obviously be designed so as to admit of subsequent incre¬
ments to the initial supply without materially interrupting its regular
discharge. These essential points have been duly borne in mind in
the following formulation of the Indian Creek project; and to present
the same in definite terms, it will be assumed that the legitimate use of
water in the city for all purposes can readily be reduced to an average
of 150 gallons per capita per day, and that with its present estimated
population of 300,000 and an average daily consumption of 45,000,000
gallons, an initial conduit capacity of 75,000,000 gallons per day will
afford ample provision for growth during a period of from 10 to 20
years.

Storage Reservoir and Dam.

In the foregoing it was found that with a drainage area of t 12 square
miles, and a dam of sufficient height near the village of Springfield to
afford an available or effective storage of 27,400,000,000 gallons, the
Indian Creek basin can safely be depended on to yield a daily supply
of 92,000,000 gallons; and that by diverting into the large reservoir
thus formed a portion of the water collected from 105 square miles of
the adjacent Laurel Hill Creek basin, the daily supply can be increased
to about 130,000,000 gallons. It was also found that a constant and
regular draft of 75,000,000 gallons per day from the Indian Creek
basin alone, requires a reservoir with an effective storage capacity of
16,112,300,000 gallons. The last-named draft, however, affords insuf¬
ficient provision for future demands; and as comparatively little is gained
by stopping the construction of such a dam temporarily at a lower
level, with the expectation of raising its crest in the future, it will be
expedient to finish the construction at once to its full height. In view
of the magnitude of the undertaking, and to allow ample margin for
subsequent increments of draft, the first-named effective storage volume
of 27,400,000,000 gallons has been adopted as being a close approxima¬
tion to that which further study may demonstrate to be the most advan¬
tageous.

It was also shown that, on account of the great length of the con¬
duit from Indian Creek to Highland Park Reservoir, the elevation of
the lowest water level in the storage reservoir should not be less than'
about 1,310 feet above sea level. At this elevation, however, a large
extent of alluvial flats will become exposed, and to avoid the resulting
undesirable effects, the low-water level has been taken at the elevation
of 1,320 feet above sea. The area of the reservoir at this level will be
about 848 acres; its greatest depth of water at the dam will be about
175 feet, and it will contain about 13,150,000,000 gallons, which will
not be available for use, since the effective storage capacity must lie

wholly above said level. As the latter is 27,400,000,000 gallons, the
spillway level must be sought at an elevation corresponding to a total
impounding capacity of 40,550,000,000 gallons, which is found at or
near elevation 1,383 feet above sea; here the area of the water surface
will be about 1,912 acres, and the greatest depth of water at the dam will
be about 238 feet.

Obviously, the adoption of any other structure than a masonry dam
of the most massive description, for impounding such an enormous
volume and depth of water, is not to be considered, and to compute the
quantity of masonry needed for the purpose, the dimensions established
by the engineers of the new Croton River Dam, now in process of con¬
struction near Yonkers, N. Y., have been adopted. From these com¬
putations and the preliminary sketch plans, it was found that the dam
and its appurtenances will require about 605,000 cubic yards of various
classes of masonry, exclusive of the rough stone work needed for bank-
protections, etc., and the better class of work for the superstructures of
the valve houses. It may also be mentioned that these figures are
based on the assumption that a suitable rock foundation will be se¬
cured at moderate depth below the existing surface, as will doubtless he
the case.

The large reservoir thus created will manifestly interfere with the
public highways that now pass through and across the principal valleys,
and hence the estimate must include the cost of such new roads and
bridges as may be necessary to restore the means of communication in
the district affected. A considerable quantity of land bordering on the
flow line all around the reservoir must also be acquired by the city in
order to prevent any direct pollution of the water, and more or less
work must likewise be done on private premises beyond the aforesaid
marginal area, to insure the purity of the numerous tributaries. Pro¬
vision has accordingly been made in the estimate for the purchase oi
at least 3,100 acres of land in the valley, including the reservoir site,
and for the construction of nearly 20 miles of public and private roads,
with the necessary culverts and bridges. Among the latter structures,
a suitable highway suspension bridge at a narrow place near the middle
of the reservoir, and the adaptation of the crest of the high masonry dam
for roadway purposes, have been included.

Without reciting the numerous other items which enter into the
design and cost of the dam and reservoir, it may suffice to state that
the estimated cost of this part of the work is $4,985,000, to which 10
per cent, should be added for contingent expenses, thus making a total
of $5,483,500. The prices adopted for the various items are believed
to be ample, and if the asssumed land values are not greatly exceeded,
the work can be completed within the said amount. It should, however,

98

be mentioned that no provision has been made for compensating owners
of mill privileges on Indian Creek, in and below the reservoir site, as
there are no mills in this portion of the valley which make use of water
power.

Tunnel Conduit.

As the site of the proposed high dam is about 3.5 miles above the
mouth of Indian Creek, and the lofty mountain range called Chestnut
Ridge extends without interruption for the entire length of the valley
to the Youghiogheny River, the outlet conduit from the storage reser¬
voir must either make a long detour through the lower part of said valley,
or must pass in tunnel through the mountain. From considerations of
ultimate economy, the latter plan has been chosen, so that the first part
of the conduit will be a tunnel 26,400 feet, or 5.00 miles, long, beginning
at about elevation 1,310 feet above sea at the north end of the dam. The ex¬
cavation through the rocky strata of the mountain is to be made about
11 feet in diameter, so as to admit of a strong brick lining to form a
horseshoe-shaped conduit, 8.5 feet high and wide inside, with a- grade
of one in 2,500, and a maximum discharging capacity of about
150,000,000 gallons per day. This capacity corresponds to the ultimate
average daily yield of 130,000,000 gallons computed above for the Indian
Creek and Laurel Hill Creek basins combined, with an allowance of 15
per cent, increase over the average for seasonal variation in demand.

Little argument is needed to demonstrate the expediency of adopt¬
ing, at once the limiting dimensions for such a work, and of building it
in such permanent manner as to avoid future enlargement and repairs.
The principal item of its cost is the excavation of a passageway, or
heading, large enough to allow the workmen to perform their task ex¬
peditiously, and after this has been done, the removal of the rest of the
material is effected at relatively low rates. Between a suitable conduit
of two-thirds of said capacity and the one here proposed, the difference
in first cost will amount to only about $165,000, which sum is of slight
significance in comparison with the large initial cost of nearly $1,000,000
for the smaller conduit. A subsequent enlargement of the conduit is
manifestly impracticable, as the water supply to the city cannot be in¬
terrupted, and the construction of a parallel tunnel in the future will
make the ultimate costs of the work excessive. It is therefore advisable
to adhere to the size and capacity above indicated.

The tunnel conduit above described will terminate on the western
side of the mountain, at about elevation 1,299 feet above sea level in
the valley of White Run, where a suitable overflow chamber, or waste
weir, will prevent the masonry lining from being subjected to any undue
internal water pressure. Its construction is to be facilitated by several

deep shafts along its course, which will enable the work to be prose¬
cuted simultaneously in both directions at a corresponding number of
points, as well as from the ends, and which will afterwards be equipped
with brick ventilating stacks, or manholes, 4 or 5 feet in diameter, the
remainder of the shaft excavation being refilled with the material origin¬
ally removed. The execution of the conduit work as thus planned will
.require about three years, while that of the reservoir and dam will require
at least four years.

Steel Pipe Conduits.

From the end of the tunnel conduit, the ground descends rapidly
to the general level of the tops of tire lower ranges of hills between
Chestnut Ridge and Pittsburgh, and its configuration is too irregular
and unfavorable to admit of the construction of a continuous masonry
aqueduct. A route might possibly be selected which would be charac¬
terized by a number of detached sections of such conduit, amounting in
the aggregate to a length of several miles; but no effort was made in
this direction, as the possibility of subsidences of the surface over the
numerous coal mines which occur along any practicable route, renders
the selection of such an aqueduct inexpedient. For this reason the use
of riveted steel pipe alone has been considered for the remainder of the
conduit.

So far as can now be determined from the best available data, the
distance in a direct line from the end of the aforesaid tunnel to High¬
land Park Reservoir is about 199,000 feet, or 37.70 miles. Such a loca¬
tion for the.conduit is, however, impracticable on account of its passage
over numerous intervening summits and ridges, which are at so great
elevations above the hydraulic grade line as to require the construction
of expensive and undesirable tunnels, particularly in the mining dis¬
tricts. It has, therefore, been necessary to find another feasible location
for the pipe conduit, and such a one is shown on the accompanying
map.* 'Doubtless this route is susceptible of much improvement, but as
it has not been deemed advisable to spend further time in making elab¬
orate surveys, it is submitted merely as a rough possibility. Its length,
following the undulations of the surface and with a liberal allowance
for probable lateral detours, is 221,000 feet, or 41.86 miles, which is
about 11 per cent, more than the air line distance mentioned above.

The elevation of the end of the tunnel was stated in the foregoing
to be about 1,299 feet above sea level, and it should be remarked that
this refers to the bottom of the 8.5 foot conduit. In considering the
pipe line, however, the elevation of the water surface in said conduit,
which is at least 6 feet higher, should be taken into account. At the

beginning of the pipe the elevation of the hydraulic grade line will ac¬
cordingly be at 1,305 feet above sea level, while at its end in Highland
Park Reservoir its elevation will be 1,067 feet. The total available fall
in the aforesaid distance of 221,000 feet is thus 238 feet, which gives a
grade of one in 928.6 or 5.686 feet per mile; but in order to err on the
safe side and to compensate for loss of head in entering the pipe, we
may take for this grade, one in 935. For the required discharge let us
adopt, as already set forth, 75,000,000 gallons per day, which is equiva¬
lent to x 16.043 cubic feet per second With these data, and taking
for the coefficient (c) in the general Chezy formula (v = cCrs) for the
mean velocity of discharge in a pipe an average value of c— 100, we will
obtain:—

1. For a single iine of pipe, required diameter=73 inches.

2. “ double “ " “ “ =55 “

It must, however, be remembered that in the course of time the
delivering capacity of all cast iron or steel conduits will be more or less
impaired by an increasing roughness of surface, due to corrosion and
the formation of organic growths on the interior; hence, while the
assumed value of the coefficient (c) in the aforesaid formula is applicable
to the average condition of the riveted steel pipe, it will be expedient
to consider that its condition is inferior to the average, or such as may
be expected to occur after it has been in use for 20 years. We should
therefore add about 2 per cent, to the diameters as computed above, thus
obtaining the values:—

1. For a single line of pipe, least required diameter=74 inches.

2. “ double “ '• " “ ‘ =56 “

Where a pipe conduit of such great length is to be used for a public
water supply, and is, moreover, laid in ground which is liable to be dis¬
turbed by subsidences over coal workings, it is advisable to have at least
two lines of pipe available, as it may be presumed that both will not
be out of order at the same time. This plan has been adopted in esti¬
mating the cost of the proposed gravity conduit, and the figures are
accordingly based on the use of two lines of 56-inch riveted steel pipes
for the entire distance from the end of the tunnel under Chestnut Ridge
to Highland Park Reservoir.

After the aforesaid average daily supply of 65,000,000 gallons, cor¬
responding to a maximum of 75,000,000 gallons per day during periods
of greatest consumption, which is afforded by these two pipes, has be¬
come inadequate, a third similar line must be laid, whereby the com¬
bined capacity will be increased to a maximum of about 112,000,000
gallons per day, corresponding to a daily average of about 97,000,000
gallons, which is a little more than the safe capacity of the Indian Creek

101

water-shed, as already pointed out; and when this latter supply becomes
insufficient, a fourth similar line must be provided, along with the tunnel
from Indian Creek to Laurel Hill Creek, and the storage reservoir in
the valley of the latter, as previously mentioned. The fourth pipe will
thus make the combined conduit capacity about 145,000,000 gallons per
day as a maximum, which corresponds to a daily average of about
130,000,000 gallons. This ultimate development practically exhausts the
yield from these two mountain basins, and if still more water is required
In the future, another source must be found.

Intermediate Structures on Pipe Conduits.

As the quick stoppage of the flow in any pipe conduit, sucli as is
caused by the closing of a main valve, produces considerable incre¬
ments of pressure, and hence also severe stresses in the metal, it is expe¬
dient to minimize these undesirable effects in the long line under con¬
sideration by dividing it into at least four sections each of about 10 miles
in length, at the ends of which a free discharge for the water is provided
by means of either a suitable basin, or an overflow similar to a waste
weir on a canal. With the former, the advantage of saving the water
for use is.gained; but as there has been no time available for finding
proper locations for such intermediate reservoirs of serviceable magni¬
tude, and as their cost will add largely to the estimate, it has been
deemed advisable to provide only for simple overflows or spillways at three
or four convenient localities.

Brief reference may also be made to the special constructions
needed where the pipes cross under or over large streams, under rail¬
ways, and over coal workings. In all these cases, considerable ex¬
pense is involved in rendering the pipes reasonably safe against future
disturbance by floods, derailment or subsidence. Furthermore, the con¬
duits should be coupled together with interposed stop-valves at frequent
intervals in territory where danger from any of said causes may exist,
so that in case of damage to one line, the flow of both pipes may be
forced through a relatively short section of the other pipe at the expense
of some loss of head, and then continue again in both pipes. Some
reduction in the delivery will thus be incurred, but by no means as
much as will happen if only one pipe remains in service for its entire
length. The adoption of this scheme, however, leads to the use of a large
number of main stop-valves.

In addition to the foregoing items, a large number of air-valves at
summits and blow-offs in depressions of the pipe lines, will be required,
as well as a telephone line and various roadways for facilitating the con¬
struction and subsequent operation of the conduit. The different sec¬
tions must, moreover, be kept under constant supervision, as small
leaks under high pressure may quickly enlarge and lead to great damage;

102

KEl'OKT UI'O.M A GRAVITY WATER SCI’I’LY.

hence several dwellings, tool sheds, etc., for the conduit overseers, as well
as for the keepers of the storage reservoir, must likewise be provided.

Reference might also have been made to a great variety of other
details connected with the pipe conduit, such as manholes to afford
access to its interior, anchorages at its ends and intermediate points,
masonry for carrying minor natural water-courses under or over the
conduit, the various easements and mining rights needed for the con¬
struction and future protection of the work, etc.; but as this report has
already greatly exceeded the limits originally designed therefor, all these
other matters are accordingly omitted. It may, however, be of interest
to remark that in the hands of an energetic and experienced contractor,
the pipe conduit can readily be completed within a period of three years.

Estimated Cost.'

The detailed estimate of the cost of the entire gravity system of water
supply from Indian Creek may now be conveniently grouped into the
following general items:—

1. Masonry dam and appurtenances.$ 3,673,000

2. Clearing reservoir site of timber, brush, earth,

and vegetable mould, along with sanitary work
beyond limits of territory acquired. 730,000

3. Construction of necessary public and semi-public

roads, culverts, bridges, fences, railings, etc.,
together with purchase of land for site, and
compensation for buildings removed. 582,000

4. Tunnel conduit, 8.5 ft. diameter, and 26,400 ft.

long, with necessary shafts and ventilating
manholes, complete . 1,167,200

5. Two lines of 56-inch riveted steel conduit pipe,

each 221,000 ft. long, with the necessary valves, <
overflows, creek and railway crossings, mason¬
ry and other appurtenances, complete. 5,583,450

6. Rights of way for tunnel, shafts and pipe conduit

with appurtenances, purchase of coal mining
rights, supporting roofs of exhausted mines
to prevent subsidence, clearing land and grad¬
ing roadways for construction on rights of
way, dwellings, etc., for reservoir and conduit
overseers, telephone line, and expenses not

otherwise enumerated. 599,35°

Sum of foregoing items.$12,335,000

7. Add 10 per cent, for engineering, inspection,
legal expenses and contingencies not now
foreseen. 1,233,500

Total estimated cost of work for a maxi¬
mum capacity of 75,000,000 gallons per
day for the pipe conduit,....$13,568,500

As already stated, when the average daily water consumption in the
city exceeds 65,000,000 gallons, which corresponds to the maximum deliv¬
ery of 75,000,000 gallons per day mentioned in the above estimate, it will
be necessary to lay a third line of pipe. The cost of this line will
probably be somewhat less than one-half of the above-named item for
pipe conduits, since its construction will be greatly facilitated by the
original work, and but little expense is involved for connecting with the
various overflow channels and inlet chamber at the distributing reser¬
voir. An approximate estimate of the cost of said third line is $2,774,775,
to which 10 per cent, should be added for contingencies, etc., as above,
thus making a total additional cost of $3,052,250, in order to adapt
the delivering capacity of the pipe conduits to an average daily con¬
sumption of about 97,000,000 gallons, with a maximum of 112,000,000
gallons per day.

' In like manner, when this latter quantity becomes inadequate, the
development of a supplementary supply from the Laurel Hill Creek-
basin must be carried out, at an expense of about $3,000,000, as already
indicated, and a fourth line of pipe must also be provided at the aforesaid
sum of $3,052,250, whereby the total cost of this final increment becomes
$6,052,250. The works will then be adapted to the ultimate average
daily supply of about 130,000,000 gallons, with a maximum of 145,000,000
gallons per day; and their probable total cost will have been as follows:—

For original cost with two lines of pipe and average

daily consumption of 65,000,000 gallons.$13,568,500

For addition of third line of pipe. 3,052,250

For addition of fourth line of pipe and Laurel Hill
Creek basin. 6,052,250

Ultimate cost.$22,673,000

Operating Expenses and Maintenance.

The annual operating expenses of the gravity system of water supply
outlined in the foregoing are quite small in comparison with those of
a pumping and filter system. A force of six intelligent men with a few
helpers, and the occasional employment of other manual and team
labor, will suffice to keep the conduits, storage reservoir, buildings,
accessory roadways, bridges and culverts, and the telephone line in
good order, at an estimated expense of about $14,000 per year, on the
average; but it should be distinctly understood that this sum does not
include any allowance for extraordinary repairs or renewals. To meet
the latter expenditures, drafts may properly be made upon the accumu¬
lation of money in the sinking fund, which may be established for the
payment of the bonded debt incurred for constructing the works.

104

REPORT UPON A GRAVITY HATER SUPPLY.

In fixing the term of years for the maturity of such a sinking
fund, it will he proper to discriminate between those portions of the
works which are of permanent value and indefinitely long durability,
such as lands, easements, mining rights, the great masonry dam and
its appurtenances, the tunnel conduit, overflow-channels, roadways, etc.,
and the remaining portions which are subject to deterioration or decay,
such as the riveted steel conduits, with their various valves and appur¬
tenances, the iron or timber roadway bridges, minor masonry objects,
wooden buildings for overseers, telephone line, etc. For the first-named
class, it may justly be urged that the sinking fund term should not
be less than ioo years; but as it is generally considered expedient to
maintain the credit of a large municipality at a high standard, in order
that it may be enabled to borrow money at low rates in case of emer¬
gency, a period of 60 years has often been adopted as a limit. For the
second class of structures, on the other hand, it is fair to assume an
average life of about 40 years, and hence this term may be taken for
the sinking fund for the corresponding part of the original bonded debt.

For the first outlay of $13,568,500 mentioned above, the cost or
value of the permanent portions of the work is estimated at $7,379,020,
while that of the remaining portions is $6,189,480. Assuming sinking
fund terms of 60 and 40 years respectively, for these two sums, and
considering that interest at the rate of 3 per cent., compounded annu¬
ally, will be paid for the use of the money accumulating in these funds,
then the annual contributions from the city to said funds must be
0.6133 and 1.3262 per cent, of the respective sums or principals. The
annual payment into the former fund will accordingly be $45,255.53,
while that for the latter is $82,084.88, thus making a total yearly sinking
fund payment of $127,340.41.

With reference to the annual interest on the bonded debt, a rate
of 3.25 per cent, has been adopted, at the suggestion of some members
of the Commission ; and bv arranging the preceding items in tabular
form, we now obtain the following statements of the fixed annual charges
and operating expenses of the proposed gravity system :—

I. For the period of years until the average consumption exceeds
65,000,000 gallons per day, with a maximum of 75,000,000 gallons per
day for short times:—

works, $13,568,500.$440,976.25

times:—

Conclusion.

It will be noticed that in the foregoing I have confined myself to
a brief technical description of the proposed gravity conduit, and have
therefore left the comparison of this plan with other projects for im¬
proving the water supply of Pittsburgh to be drawn by the Commission
and yourself. With reference to the feasibility of the plan, it may be
remarked that the only element of engineering uncertainty attached
thereto is the question of damage from possible subsidence of the ground
over coal workings. The estimate, however, contains a fair allowance
for the acquisition of ample mining rights, and presumably the state
laws are adequate to protect the property thus acquired against cn-

croachment or removal. From a financial point of view, on the other
hand, there is little to say until the estimates for the other projects have
been presented on the same basis as indicated above.

EXHIBIT 4.

Mr. Alien Hazf.n,

Consulting Engineer,

Pittsburgh Filtration Commission.

Sir:—

I beg to submit, herewith, the report upon that portion of the work
of the Filtration Commission which has been under my direct charge,
since May 17, 1897, when I reported for duty.

The experiments, for which arrangements were early made, and
which were started as promptly as possible, were officially closed Sep¬
tember 1, 1898. Since then, the time has been largely occupied in com¬
piling data, and in preparing the reports; however, some little additional
experimental work and investigations have claimed a portion of this latter
period.

CHAPTKR I.

General Outline of the Work.

Organization.

Through the courtesy of Mr. E. M. Bigelow, Director of Public
Works, and Member of the Filtration Commission, a room was assigned,
May 19, 1897, for the use of the Commission, on the third floor of the
City Hall, and this continued to be used as the office until Novem¬
ber 14, 1898. At this date, because of the need of more room, for
the increased force, required for the early preparation of the report;
also, to secure better light for the draftsmen, we moved to the fifth
floor. But, a few days later, on November 19, the Herron Hill Labora¬
tory Building was assigned for the remainder of the work.

Among the items of work first undertaken was that of making chemi¬
cal analyses of different samples of water and the services of the chemist,
Dr. Walther Riddle, date from May 17, 1897. By the kindness of Messrs.
Coster and Riddle, this work has been done in their private laboratory,
and for this we are under many obligations to the firm; also, especially
to Mr. Coster, in assisting at times when the work was particularly
urgent. We began at once to collect samples for chemical analysis, from
the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers, and from representative taps in
the cities of Pittsburgh and Allegheny. Samples were collected from a
well which was drilled at that time adjacent to the boiler house at
Brilliant. A discussion of these analyses will be found in the Chemist’s
Report, Appendix No. 1, and the results in Appendix No. 2. The special
report upon this driven well, made by Mr. A. B. Shepherd. Superintendent
of Bureau of Water Supply and Distribution, to the Director of Public

no

REPORT OF RESIDENT ENGINEER, — CHATTER I.

Works, will be found in Appendix No. 5. Considerable time was also
occupied during the first few weeks in securing the necessary apparatus
and utensils for the laboratory, and, in addition to his regular duties,
the Chemist assisted the Resident Engineer in organizing the work.

Sometime prior to the organization of the work upon the present
basis, the Commission had arranged with Dr. Eugene Wasdin, Past As¬
sistant Surgeon, United States Marine Hospital Service, to analyze repre¬
sentative samples of the Pittsburgh water supply and report upon the
species of bacteria found therein. Dr. Wasdin’s Report will be found in
Appendix No. 3. His work was conducted in the laboratory of the Bureau
of Health, Department of Public Safety. For this kindness, as well as for
the many favors obtained later, until our own laboratory at Brilliant was
completed, we are deeply indebted to this department and its officials,
and it is desired at this time to express our thoughtful appreciation of
this assistance.

As it was not possible to secure the whole of Dr. Wasdin’s. time for
the work of the Commission, other arrangements were ultimately made,
and, upon July 1, 1897, Mr. Wm. R. Copeland, Assistant Biologist at the
State Board of Health Experiment Station, Lawrence, Mass., reported
in Pittsburgh to assume charge of this branch of the work. In the begin¬
ning, the work consisted in analyzing samples of river and tap waters, in
preparing sketches for fitting up the laboratory at Brilliant and in secur¬
ing apparatus for the same. When the sand filters were started, July 23,
1897, the number of bacterial analyses was largely increased. The new
laboratory at Brilliant was used after August 23, 1897, where the work
has since been performed. The Bacteriologist has not only performed the
necessary laboratory work, but has had direct charge of the experimental
filter plant.

Sand Filters.

Acting upon the decision made at a meeting, held May 19, 1897,
steps were immediately taken to construct, for experimental purposes,
two sand filters at Brilliant with a settling basin. A description of
these filters and a statement of the operations and the results obtained
therewith, will be found in Chapter II.

Mechanical Filters.

Preliminary steps were taken, upon May 22, 1897, to see what ar¬
rangements could be made to experiment with representative types of
mechanical filters. Invitations to install their filters for experimental pur¬
poses, upon the basis of all expenses to be borne by the companies, were
sent June 5, 1897, to the following filter companies:—

EXPERIMENTAL FILTERS,

111

Cumberland Manufacturing Company, Boston, Mass.

Morrison-Jewell Filtration Company, New York, N. Y.

New York Filter Manufacturing Company, New York, N. Y.

Continental Filter Company, New York, N. Y.

Loomis-Manning Filter Company, Philadelphia, Pa.

All of these companies declined, either at this time or later, to enter
the test as originally proposed. After many conferences, agreements
were drawn up, upon August 24, 1897, with the Cumberland Manufactur¬
ing Company and the Morrison-Jewell Filtration Company, for establish¬
ing their filters for experimental purposes. These agreements provided
that each company should furnish, free on board cars at point of manufac¬
ture, a complete filter with alum apparatus, and other necessary acces¬
sories ; also, furnish a competent superintendent to supervise the erection
of the same, and should loan the filter to the city of Pittsburgh, without
recompense, for a period not later than to January 1, 1899. It was also
agreed that the city should pay all freight charges to Pittsburgh; also,
should furnish all labor and material necessary for the erection and the
necessary shelter, labor, power, alum, and water for operating the filters.
It was furthermore provided, that, at the conclusion of the experiments,
the citv should take down, pack, and deliver free on board the cars at
Pittsburgh, all parts of the filter. It was also agreed that each company
should be informed from time to time as to the bacteriological, chemical,
and mechanical results secured with its own filter, but these results were
to be regarded as confidential until the final report had been made to
Councils. These agreements were approved by Councils, and signed by
the Mayor, October 13, 1897. .

Considerable time was thus occupied during the negotiations, and,
again, after the agreements were signed, before the filters were actually
received upon the ground. The apparatus first began to arrive November
4, 1897, but it was January 14, 1898, before the filters were in opera¬
tion. During the first few months of the experiments with the mechanical
filters, representatives of the filter companies were in attendance, to advise
in regard to the operation of their respective filters.

Upon April 7, 1898, notice was received that the Cumberland Manu¬
facturing Company and the Morrison-Jewell Filtration Company had sold
to the New York Filter Manufacturing Company, all patents and rights
of their respective filters. A description of the Warren Filter, with the
results of the experiments, will be found in Chapter III; and of the
Jewell Filter, in Chapter IV.

Worms Tile Filter.

At Worms, Germany, filters are used which are composed of plates
of artificial sandstone. Some of these plates had been secured bv Hon.

Win. Minn, Member of the Commission, and tried by him in an experi¬
mental way. Through his kindness, negotiations Were made with the
American representative of Director Fisher of Worms, the inventor of
the system, and six tiles were secured and set up at the experimental
filter plant, according to the plans and directions furnished. They were
placed in operation November 25, 1897, and continued until April 9, 1898.
During this time, the American rights had been transferred to the
Wormser Filter Plate Company, of St. Louis; and they, in a communica¬
tion dated March 29, 1898, asked permission to re establish the plant and
have the experiment continued. This was granted by the Commission,
and, upon June 12, 1898, the test began again, under the general super¬
vision of a representative of the Wormser Filter Plate Company, and
continued until the close of the experiments. A description of this filter
plant, and the results obtained therewith, will be found in Chapter V.

Berkefeld Filter.

Upon November 12, 1897, a proposition was submitted by the Berke¬
feld Filter Company, requesting the Commission to consider the prac¬
ticability of placing household filters of their type, in all buildings through¬
out the city of Pittsburgh. The estimate of the company for installing
56,000 Berkefeld Home Filters, according to their system, was $560,000,
and the annual operating expenses, exclusive of interest, was $189,,000.
The question was taken under consideration and a household filter of the-
Berkefeld type was submitted to us for the purpose of testing its efficiency.
It may be stated that, in general, a large number of the bacteria in the
water were removed, when the filter was carefully attended to. Frequent
washings were necessary and occasionally the filter cylinder had to be
sterilized by boiling.

Surveys.

It was thought advisable to have a survey made of certain flat-
lands, along the north side of the Allegheny River, which might afford
suitable sites for filters. This work was done, under the general super¬
vision of the Resident Engineer, by a party of five men from the City
Engineer’s office, under the direction of Mr. W. W. Fortune. They were
employed upon this work as time could be spared from other duties and
we are indebted to the Director of Public Works, and to Mr. Wm. R.
Brown, City Engineer, in regard to this. This survey was begun August
17, 1897. The field work was finished-October 27, 1897, and the plans
were completed February 19, 1898. The survey included about 600 acres,
which extend about three miles along the Allegheny River, from the east¬
erly line of Aspinwall to Montrose Pumping Station.

Later, it was decided to secure information in regard to the topo¬
graphical character of the land along Squaw Run, which stream enters the

113

MlHCKU.AN’Knrs STUDIKS.

Allegheny River, a short distance above Aspinwall, and cuts through the
foot-hills, bordering on the tlat-lands, on the north side of the river. It
was thought that the basin of this run might afford a good site for a large
storage or settling basin for filters, located on the ilat-land below. As
the force of the City Engineer was busy at that time, a contract was made
with Messrs. Wilkins and Davison, Civil engineers, of Pittsburgh, to
furnish the data and plans of this survey. 'The field work was begun
May 9, 1898, and ended May 25, 1898, and the completed plans were de
livered June 8, 1898. 'file survey comprised about 200 acres which extend
up Squaw Run for a distance of about two miles from tbe foot-hills.
Maps prepared for these surveys have been transmitted to you as com¬
pleted.

Gravity Supply.

Upon May 26, 1898, a communication was received from the Western
Water Company, requesting the Commission to consider whether it would
be advisable for the city of Pittsburgh to secure a gravity water supply
from a mountain water-shed in Fayette County, Pa. The company
has certain rights in this territory and furnished the Commission with
much detailed information and plans which had been made. It was
deemed expedient, however, to secure additional data and a knowledge
of the character of the material to be encountered in constructing the
proposed dam and conduit. The additional surveys were made by Messrs.
Jamison and Fogg, Civil Engineers, of Greensburg, Pa., acting for the
Western Water Company. Information in regard to the drainage area
and particulars in regard to the character of the geological formation
along the conduit line, and the liability of having “sinks” in coal territory,
were secured by the engineering force of the Commission.

Miscellaneous Studies.

Studies have been made of the past and present population in Pitts¬
burgh and of the probable future increase; similar studies have also been,
made in regard to the consumption of water. Investigations have also
been made for a projected auxiliary supply of water for manufacturing
purposes, which involved securing data of the manufacturing use of
water and a study of the location of main pipes for this system. All of
which information has been transmitted to you from time to time.

During the summer and autumn of 1897, several epidemics of typhoid
fever occurred in the vicinity of Pittsburgh and one within the city limits.
Considerable attention and study were devoted to these for the purpose
of investigating the cause of the excessive amount of this disease in the
city. It was found that typhoid fever is generally existent here and in the
stibnrban villages and boroughs; and the results of our investigations

HKI'OKT OF RESIDENT KXIUNKF.II,—OIIAITFH I.

I II

indicated that epidemics are frequently to he traced to the use of infected
milk, and also, to the use of contaminated well and spring waters.

Besides the investigations above mentioned, information and data
were obtained for Prof. W. T. Sedgwick, who was retained by the
Commission to report upon “The Sources of Typhoid Fever in Pitts¬
burgh.” A diagram was made, showing the location of the cases of
typhoid fever, reported in the city, in 1897. Other statistical informa¬
tion was also secured ; all of which will he found in Prof. Sedgwick's
Report.

Pollution Investigations.

Prior to the engagement of the Resident Engineer, investigations
were undertaken, under the general direction of Dr. W. J. Holland, Chair¬
man of “Committee of Water Analysis,” to ascertain the extent and
character of the pollution of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers
and their main tributaries. Eight young men, students of the Western
University of Pennsylvania, were employed, upon this investigation, dur¬
ing the Holiday vacation of 1896. They studied the sanitary condi¬
tion of the banks of the streams and the amount of pollution entering
therein. The results are such that they cannot readily be placed in
convenient form for publication, but they show that a large amount of
sewage is being thrown into these streams from towns, villages, manu¬
factories, and dwellings all along their courses, even in the upper waters.

Experimental Filter Plant.

A brief description of the experimental filter plant is given here¬
with, and the exact details will be included in the reports of each of
the several systems. The plant consisted of two sand filter basins, to¬
gether with a settling basin, built of concrete; located between the Alle¬
gheny Valley Railway tracks and the Allegheny River, about two hundred
feet from the westerly end of No. 4 Boiler House, at Brilliant Pumping
Station. Just west of the sand filter basin was located the filter building;
in‘size thirty-four feet wide, by sixty-two feet long. Attached to the
westerly end of this building, was the shed in which the experimental
boilers were placed. The biological laboratory was located close by the
sand filter basin, at the westerly end of a wooden building, which was
used as a store-room and carpenter shop. Plate No. 12;—“General Plan
of Experimental Filter Plant,” opposite this page, shows the relation of
these structures.

Water was supplied by a six-inch cast iron pipe, leading from the
force main in the pumping station yard. This pipe was about 240 feet
long, and lead directly,to the inlet chamber of the sand filter plant. A
six-inch branch, about 75 feet long, led from the first line to the filter

building'. Steam was applied for uses in the tiller building through
a six-inch line, about 330 feet long, leading from the No. 4. Boiler
House. A tap from this line furnished steam for heating the laboratory
and supplying the autoclave. The water was distributed to the respective
filters by a suitable arrangement of the piping. The pressure of the sup
plied water was about 150 pounds, which was too much for the butterfly
valves on the inlets to the mechanical filters to control. It was neces¬
sary, therefore, to place a regulator on the main line in the building, which
device reduced the pressure to about forty or fifty pounds. The effluents
from the sand filters passed through three-inch pipes to a measuring
vault located within the filter building, and thence out through a drain
into the river. On its way, the water was caught in a barrel which allowed
us to secure, with a small pump, filtered water for the purpose of supply¬
ing the laboratory, filling the sand filters after scraping, and such other
uses as were found desirable. The effluents from the filters in the building
were delivered into a large iron tank under the floor. This tank was
sixteen feet in diameter, ten feet high, and was placed in the ground
before the building was erected. Water was obtained from this tank
for washing purposes, and delivered by two pumps, through suitable pip¬
ing, to the filters. The wasli water and waste from the several filters ran
into the river through a drain underneath the building.*

Boiler Experiments.

As large quantities of water are used in Pittsburgh for manufactur¬
ing purposes, in boilers and in various hydraulic devices, where it is
stored in metal tanks, it was thought advisable to investigate the corrosive
and incrusting qualities of the Allegheny River water before and after
filtration. For this purpose, three 25 H. P. boilers were kindly loaned
to the Commission by the Oil Well Supply Company, and to this company
we are deeply indebted for this favor, and for kind attention and advice
in carrying out these experiments. A complete report of these tests
will be found in Chapter VI.

Asbestos.

After the conclusion of the experiments by the Commission, it was
brought to our attention that it was possible to use asbestos as a layer
upon filters, and it was decided that certain tests should be undertaken
with this material as a filter medium. As the time for this was limited,
however, and the experiment somewhat incomplete, no statement of the
results is given in this report.

General

Frequent visits have been made to the experimental filter plant by
interested citizens, also by residents of other places. The Commission made,

in addition to those by individual members, four official visits, viz.:—
June 26 and July 23, 1897 ; June 18 and August 24, 1898. Upon the latter
occasion, which was shortly before closing the experiments, Members of
Councils and interested citizens were invited. Occasional visits were also
made by the officials of the different filter companies, whose apparatus
was being tested.

The Resident Engineer has visited, at the request of the Commission,
various filtration plants and investigated several devices not experimented
with here. He also accompanied the chairman and a Committee, on an
inspection of the experimental filter plants at Louisville, Ky., and Cincin¬
nati, Ohio, made April 19, and 20, 1898.

During the investigations, it has been necessary to make frequent
observations daily of the various gages located at the experimental filter
plant. Observations of the turbidity of the river water, settled water,
and effluents, were made daily. Frequent samples were collected during
the day for bacterial determinations and, twice a week or more frequently,
samples were collected for chemical analysis. All of this data has been
reported from time to time, and weekly reports upon the progress of the
work and results have been submitted to the Commission. Also reports
of each week’s results of the operations of the mechanical and Worms
Tile Filters have been sent periodically to the respective filter companies.

In carrying on this work the writer has, on many occasions, received
kindly aid and support from the officials of the various city departments,
from the authorities of the United States Weather Bureau and
Engineer’s Office, and many other citizens. To Mr. A. ‘B. Shep¬
herd, Superintendent of Bureau of Water Supply and Distribution,
the writer is especially indebted for advice and valuable assistance.
We are also indebted to the officials of the various railroads, and es¬
pecially to those of the Allegheny Valley Railway and Pennsylvania
System, for courtesies in regard to facilities and arrangements for trans¬
portation and prompt delivery of all material needed in our experimental
work. To all these gentlemen the writer wishes to express his thankful
appreciation for their kindness.

There have been employed, under the direction of the Resident
Engineer, during the experiments, the following persons in the respective
positions indicated, and, for their thoughtful appreciation and thorough
attention to the work, the writer is deeply indebted:—

CHAPTER II.

Sand Kilter Experiments.

Description.

A plan and section of the sand filter plant is shown upon Plate No.
14, opposite page 118. The entire structure was made of concrete. The
water was supplied through a six-inch pipe to the gate chamber, at the
easterly end of the settling basin. Water from this chamber flowed, as
desired, either into the settling basin or into either of the filters. There
were also pipes which led from the settling basin into the filters. It was
possible by this arrangement to supply either of the two filters with raw
water or settled water. The settling basin held about 33.800 gallons,
which allowed twenty-four hours sedimentation for the water passing
through, when one filter alone was supplied with settled water, and at

a five million rate. Suitable overflows, one at the gate chamber and one
in the settling basin, provided that the head of the water upon the filters
could be maintained at a constant elevation.

The filter basins are about 25.2 feet by 12.7 feet, at the top of the
walls. The exact area of the sand surface of No. I, at the beginning, was
285 square feet, and of No. 2, was 291 square feet; upon September 1, 1898,
these figures were 273 and 279 respectively, owing to the lower level of
the sand and the batter of the walls. The underdrains were of vitrified
pipe, with broken stone and gravel placed about and above them, all of
the ordinary construction and as shown upon the drawings. Most of the
sand used was dredged from the Allegheny River, also a portion from
the Ohio River, a short distance below the Point. A statement of the
mechanical and chemical analyses is given upon page 121. The sand
was deposited in six layers, each being carefully smoothed and leveled.
The basins were then filled with water and after the sand had been in
place for a few days, the depth was only 4.2 feet. Considerable sand was
removed during the operations, by scraping, and there were only 3.1 feet
left in Filter No. 1, and 2.9 feet in Filter No. 2, after scraping, just before
September 1, 1898.

The effluent pipes of the filters were brought side by side into a small
chamber located in the filter building. In this chamber were placed
the necessary gates, meters, indicators, and gages for regulating and
registering the quantity and determining the loss of head. There were
also quarter-inch taps upon the pipes, from which chemical and biological
samples were obtained. Meters were placed upon these pipes, after which
the water passed through standard orifices. As air interfered with the
action of the meters, the orifices were found more reliable and results
from them, only, are used in making up the records.

The orifices were in the botton of copper cans which were 12 inches
in diameter and 12 inches high. The bottoms were made of brass plates
one-eighth inch thick. On the side of the can there was an opening, with
a two-inch pipe connection soldered on, for the entrance of the water. In
front of the opening there was a screen with perforations, so that the
velocity of the water was lessened and a direct downward current pre¬
vented. Ten standard orifices were drilled in the bottom plate, each
of an average diameter of 0.503 inch. These orifices discharged into a,
trough below, which emptied into a pipe, delivering out under the
building. On one side of the indicator there was a glass slide upon
which a scale was fastened. This scale was graduated to read, upon one
edge, in “Gallons per Orifice Daily,” and upon the other, in “Million
Gallons per Orifice per Acre Daily.” In this wav it was possible to
determine, at one reading, both the actual quantity in twenty-four hours
and the rate of filtration.

Ilf*

OPERATIONS

The gates were changed to regulate the flow at 9.00 A. AJ., and, il
ncessary, when the loss of head was great, again at 9.00 P. M. The at¬
tendants were instructed to keep the depth of water upon the orifices at
the half million rate mark, so that one-half the number of orifices open,
corresponded to the approximate rate of filtration. Orifices not in use
were closed by rubber stoppers. Readings were taken at 9.00 A. M.
3.00 P. M., 9.00 P. M., and 3.00 P. M, Additional readings of the indi¬
cators were taken when a filter was being drained, preparatory to scrap¬
ing, and when first starting in operation again. The observation of
the loss of head was also made at 12.00 M., which record is used in the
tables.

Water was first introduced into the settling basin July 15, 1897,
and, upon July 17, it was allowed to pass slowly into the filters, in order
to saturate the sand. Upon July 24, 1897, the effluent valves were first
opened, and, except for the interruptions for scraping and a few delays
which will be noted later, this plant has continued in operation during
the twenty-four hours of every day until the close of the experiments.

Periods of Operation,—Filter No. t.

Filter No. 1 was at first operated at an approximate rate of 2,000,000
gallons per acre daily. On August 15, 1897, the rate was changed to
3,000,000 gallons, which was maintained throughout the experiments.
It was always operated with settled water except on the following occa¬
sions, when water direct from the gate chamber was used, viz.:—

Cracks in Filter Walls.

High numbers of bacteria were noticed in the effluents, in Novem¬
ber, 1897. Upon Saturday, November 13, 1897, Filter No. 2 was shut off
to scrape, but the water did not run away as fast as usual. Upon looking
for the reason, we found, in the dividing wall between the settling basin
and the filter, a small crack close to the central well; this crack allowed
the water from the settling basin to flow quite freely into the filter. The
high bacterial numbers were probably caused by the water from the
crack following down the concrete wall, which does not batter at this
point, and thus into the underdrains without passing through sand. Upon
emptying the settling basin, a similar crack 'was found at the corner of
Filter No. 1. Both filters were immediately drawn off and the cracks
were repaired by cutting out dovetail grooves and filling with cement
mortar.

Both filters were scraped at this time and were put into operation
again at 12.22 P. M. November 17, 1897. The surface of the filters, and
the sand to some depth, at the point of repairs, became disturbed during
this work; the sand surfaces also became slightly frozen. It is believed
that these causes contributed to the large numbers of bacteria found in
the effluents, for a few days afterward, and, to a lesser degree, throughout
the cold season. It is believed, however, that the repairs were effectual;
for, upon drawing down the settling basin upon December 7, 1897, with
water still on the surface of the filters, no leaks were noticed.

During the latter part of May and the early part of June, 1898, the
numbers of bacteria in the effluent, from Filter No. 1 were again high, and,
when drawing down to scrape, upon July 15, 1898, a small leak was
noticed at the place of the previous trouble. This time no attempt was
made to stop the leak, but a small cement trough was built, out under the
leak and over the sand ; so that the water, instead of passing down between
the wall and sand, was obliged to go out into the sand and be filtered.
After this, no further trouble was noticed.

Methods.

After the middle of December, 1897, it became our custom to scrape
as soon as the loss of head became four feet. Before each scraping the
levels were taken at eighteen points over the surface, and again after

121

scraping, before the surface was raked. The average of the differences
gave the depth removed. On February 17, 1898, we began the custom of
tamping the sand gently after scraping, for a width of about two inches
from the walls, in order to compact it and prevent water finding its way
down bv channels between the wall and sand. On and after November 23,
1897, the filters were filled with filtered water from below after each
scraping. , , _

REPORT OK RESIDENT ENGINEER,—SAND FH.TEK8.

BACTERIAL EFFICIENCY AFTER SCRAPING.

In order to determine the efficiency of the sand filters directly after
scraping, we occasionally collected biological samples, at short intervals
of time, after the water began to flow from the effluent pipes. It must
be remembered, in studying these records, that the filters were filled
from below with filtered water. When first started, after scraping, a
rate of 250,000 gallons per acre was maintained for fifteen minutes; the
rate was then increased to 500,000 gallons, which was maintained for
another fifteen minutes; at the expiration of each successive fifteen min¬
utes the rate was increased half a million, until the desired operating rate
was secured. The results of the bacterial determinations are given in
the following table:—

Notes. —Percentage of Bacteria removed. 46.2.

The rates of filtration for Filter No. I were computed by dividing the "Total Passed" by 0.00661.
This figure represents the area of the sand surface, calculated from the preliminary measure¬
ments of the basin and gives rates slightly In error. These results, at first about one per cent, too
small, gradually increase! to about six per cent, for the last month of the experiments, due to the
fact that the area decreased as sand was removed by scraping.

/Where two numbers are given for a certain date in the '‘Raie” column, the upper one gives the
rate of filtration for the actual time in operation. The lower figure give* the rate for twenty-four
hours and has been used in computing the total for the month.

Notes:— Percentage of Bacteria removed, 46.8.

The rates of filtration for Filter No. 2 were computed by dividing the "Total Passed” by 0.00666.
This figure represents the area of the sand surface, calculated from the preliminary measure¬
ments of the basin and gives rates slightly in error. These results, at first about two per cent, too
large, gradually changed to about two per cent, too small for the last month of the experiments, due
to the fact that the area decreased as sand was removed by scraping.

Where two numbers are given for a certain date in the ‘‘Rate" column, the upper one gives the
rate of filtration for the actual time in operation. The lower figure gives the rate for twenty-four
hours and has been used in computing the total for the month.

WARREN KlI/riiK EXPERIMENTS.

CHAPTER III.

Warren Filter Experiments.

Description.

A complete sectional plan and elevation of the Warren Filter used
in these experiments will be found on Plates No. 15 and No. 16, opposite
page 156. In the description many things will be mentioned, which
are common to both the Warren and Jewell Filter Systems; and, in order
to save repetition, they will be described in sufficient detail here and simply
noted in Chapter IV.*

The water was supplied from the six-inch main in the center of the
building, through a four-inch pipe, which entered at one end of the set¬
tling basin; the coagulant was also introduced at this same point. After
leaving the settling basin, the water passed to the filter through an eight-
inch pipe under the filter tank, and up through a central well over the
filter bed. After passing down through the filter bed, the water was
collected in troughs underneath, which were covered with perforated
screens. From these troughs the water flowed to an iron stand pipe out¬
side the filter, in which was placed a so-called automatic weir. From the
weir the water passed out through a six-inch meter into the effluent tank
under the floor. Wash water was pumped to the filter, when required,
through a four-inch line leading to the effluent pipe, and, after passing up
through the sand, overflowed down through angular gutters and out
through a waste pipe at the opposite side of the filter.

Settling Basin.

The settling basin was an eliptical wooden tank, having an area of
176 square feet and a capacity of 13,200 gallons; or equal to the flow for
forty minutes with the filter running at the rate of 120,000,000 gallons
per acre daily. The basin was divided into four parts by baffle walls, and
the distance from the inlet to the outlet, along the center line of flow,
was about 36 feet. Displacement was not complete, however and changes
in the character of the applied water were quite often noticed at the
outlet much sooner than the time above mentioned. The outlet con¬
sisted of a vertical box, two and one-half square feet in area and extending
from the bottom to within two feet of the top of the basin. All water
passed down through this box to the exit pipe. In the bottom, near the
outlet, there was a flap valve for the removal of mud and sediment.

The entering water passed through a four-inch meter; then thiough
a butterfly valve, connected with a float, which by regulating the supply,
controlled the water level in the basin and filter. The water then passed
through an eight-blade propeller wheel, six inches in diameter. This
propeller revolved with a speed in proportion to the rate of flow of the

entering water. Connection was made through a vertical shaft with
bevelled gears, to operate a modified form of tympanum, or pump, made
of vulcanized rubber.

..V. , I

Coagulant,

The inner end of each arm of the pump was connected to one of a
series of six tubes, placed in the hub and parallel to the shaft. The inside
diameter of each arm was half an inch. This pump revolved in a tank,
which was kept full of the solution of sulphate of alumina, and each arm,
in turn, was filled with the solution. Later in the revolution, this flowed
down into the hub and out into a lead cup on the side of the tank. From
this cup a lead pipe: carried the solution down into the settling basin.
The quantity of the coagulant was varied, either by changing the strength
of the solution, or by inserting stoppers in some of the arms of the pump.
The sulphate of alumina was dissolved in water in tubs, holding 390
gallons each, placed on top of the settling basin, and the solution was
always thoroughly mixed before being used. These tubs were connected
by brass piping with the tank in which the pump was placed, and the
solution was allowed to flow from one tank at a time.

The elevation of the solution in the pump tank was kept as constant
as possible by rubber float valves. It was found, however, that this
method was not entirely satisfactory, as the rubber valves frequently
became clogged. When a new solution was first used, the higher eleva¬
tion of the solution in the pump tank, due to the pressure from a full
tub, caused very much more coagulant to be added to the applied water
than when the solution in the upper tub had nearly run out. To offset
this trouble, the valve from the upper tub was opened a little only at the
beginning, and this opening was gradually increased as the tub became
emptied. Even in this way, the application of the coagulant solution was
not constant; the effect of which will be shown by the tables presented
under the discussion of, “ Variations in the Rate of Filtration and in the
Application of Coagulant.’' There was a scale upon each coagulant tub,
graduated in percentages of the full capacity. The records show the
amount of coagulant dissolved and the percentage of a full tub remaining
unused at various times, from which the exact amount used during any
given period was calculated.

Filter.

The filter had an effective sand area of 118 square feet and was com¬
posed of a circular wooden tank resting upon timbers, which were placed
upon the floor of the buiding. On the bottom of the inside of the tank
there were placed radial iron troughs, set in concrete, which served as a
support for a brass strainer floor, and also as collectors for the filtered

water. Under the bottom of the tank and connected directly with the
eight-inch inlet pipe, there was a central well, 1.50 feet in diameter inside,
which extended up through the floor 0.77 foot above the sand surface.
Connected with this central well and between the collecting troughs, there
were ten two-inch horizontal pipes, which connected with iron gutters,
or vertical troughs, placed around the circumference of the filter inside
the staves. The inlet water to the filter was distributed over the sand
surface from the central well, and from the circumferential gutters.

The sand used was crushed quartz, which was angular at first, but
the sharp edges became rounded after some months of use. The effective
size was 0.63 m. m.; and the uniformity coefficient, 1. I. The sand, which
was 2.3 feet deep, rested directly upon the brass strainers, or screens,
which were composed of perforated plates fastened to the radial iron
troughs. There were ten of these radial plates and each had about 292,900
holes, each hole being 0.024 inch in diameter. There were twenty holes
to each inch, in a radial direction, and ten in a line at right angles to
this. The whole exit system, therefore, comprised a total area of 9.2
square feet. The flow from one-quarter of the holes was obstructed,
as they were directly over the ribs of the troughs, and the net exit area
was estimated to be 7 -i square feet. The total exit area of the radial
troughs was 0.87 square foot. In addition to this last area, there were
small screens, each two inches in diameter, placed around the central
well; the total area of which was 0.02 square foot. From the troughs, the
water drained into a central annular compartment, of 1.13 square feet in
area, from which the water passed, through an eight-inch pipe, to the
chamber of the automatic weir. The water rose to a level in this chamber,
dependent upon the loss of head, caused by the clogging of the filter,
and passed down through an inside center pipe and out to a six-inch
meter, which registered all the water passing through the filter. Outside
of the pipe, placed inside of the weir chamber, there was a sliding pipe,
which was attached at the top to a copper float; thereby maintaining an
approximately constant head upon the orifice in the pipe. By this means,
it was intended to deliver a constant quantity, whatever the loss of head.
In fact, however, the quantities filtered were somewhat greater shortly
after washing, than before. This is explained at a greater length under
the head of “ Variations in the Rate of Filtration, and in the Application
of Coagulant.

Washing.

Filtered water was furnished to this filter for washing purposes, and
also to the Jewell Filter, by two duplex steam pumps, size 12X7X 18
These pumps drew water from the large tank, under the building, which
received the effluents from the two filters. The wash water passed through
a four-inch meter and then entered the filter through the effluent pipe.

passing up through the perforated screens and sand in the opposite direc¬
tion to that of the current of water when filtering. As the dirty water
flooded above the sand, it overflowed down through the central well and
annular gutters, from which it passed out through the eight-inch pipe,
by which the settled water entered, and into the sewer.

Agitator.

The agitator consisted of two horizontal arms, connected to a central
vertical shaft, upon each of which were nine teeth, each tooth being three
feet long. When the agitator was placed in the lowest position, the bot¬
tom of the rakes just cleared the strainer floor by 0.14 foot. The agitator
was raised and lowered by means of a hydraulic lift, supported by I
beams, placed upon the top of the filter. Power was given to this lift from
the water-supply system through a three-way cock, placed upon the side
of the filter. These I beams also supported the proper pulley and gears
which transmitted power to the rakes. Power was supplied to the pulley
by a belt from the main shafting. Power to the shafting was given by
a small 6-inch x 8f-inch engine, placed upon the floor, which was sup¬
plied with steam at 100 pounds pressure, and which ran at 300 revolutions
per minute. The rake system made about three revolutions per minute.

General.

When the Warren Filter and settling basin were first filled with
water they leaked very badly, and, a sewer trench under the building
being open at the time, the sills of the building settled in places under
the filter. The settlement amounted to about two inches on one side, and,
in order that the operations of the filter should not be in any way dis¬
turbed, the floor timbers were levelled up.

It was found necessary to allow an abundance of air to enter the top
of the central pipe of the automatic weir, to prevent a vacuum being
formed and thus cause the float and orifice to drop, causing too much
water to flow. The entrance of the air, however, caused serious over¬
registration of the meter upon the effluent pipe; the error occasioned in
this way reaching thirteen per cent. After a trial of various devices, vents
were arranged which reduced this error to four per cent.

Before the reducing pressure valve was placed upon the inlet water
system, upon February 17, 1898, many of the rubber discs to the four-
inch inlet meters were broken; also many of those used in the wash
meters were broken. Later, brass discs were used in both places and no
further trouble of this kind was experienced. The service upon the
wash lines was quite severe, the meters being placed at a short distance
from the pumps, and frequently the pins and rollers were broken. The
Pittsburgh Meter Company deserves special mention for its zealous
interest and efforts in meeting these difficult conditions.

Operations,

In addition to the records taken to determine the amount of inlet,
wash, and effluent waters, and the amount of coagulant applied, it was
provided in the record books that the exact time of the various items
of operation should be entered and the loss of head observed at frequent
intervals. The latter, which was allowed to reach a limit of five feet
before washing, was determined by the difference between the heights
of water in two glass gage tubes; one of which was connected with the
water on the surface of the filter and the other with the effluent pipe
before the automatic weir. The records taken at 9.00 A. M. served as
a basis of the calculations of the day’s work, but all the observations
were also made at 3.00 P. M., 9.00 P. M., and 3.00 A. M. Special records,
taken at times of washing, served as a basis of calculation in regard to
this important detail.

There were frequent interruptions in the operations during the first
two weeks, in fact, it was January 29, 1897, before the filter was run
during the night. Delays in the operations are noted upon the monthly
record sheets in the proper places.

REPORT OF RESIDENT ENGINEER,—WARREN FILTERS.

VARIATIONS IN THE RATE OF FILTRATION AND IN THE
APPLICATION OF COAGULANT.

In carrying on the experiments it was soon noticed that the quantity
of water filtered was not always the same; that it was frequently greatest
directly after a washing and gradually diminished when the filter became
clogged, as the time for'another washing approached. Tests were con¬
ducted occasionally with the special object of ascertaining the facts, as
to whether or not the filter was wholly automatic in action, and as to
whether the weir regulated accurately the quantities of water filtered.
The information in Table B shows the results of one of these tests, which
is taken as representing average conditions.

It may be noted here that until July 13, 1898, a 300,000 gallon orifice
ring was used in the weir. For the first few months the quantity of
effluent was maintained at about this quantity. During the month of
June, however, there was a noticeable decrease in the quantity, and upon
July 13, a 350,000 gallon ring was placed in the weir, which remained
until the close of the experiments.

It was also noticed that the effluent from this filter frequently became
turbid, when the character of the applied water had not changed, and
while the coagulant solution remained of the same strength. Regarding
this, it was noticed that, when a new solution of sulphate of alumina was
first used, greater quantities were administered to the water in the set¬
tling basin, due to the great head from the pipe leading to the pump
tank. Tests were also conducted, sometimes in connection with those
previously mentioned, to furnish information about this feature.

The results of representative tests are given; in Table B, compared
with the quantity of water filtered, and in Tables C, D, and E, com¬
pared with the estimated amount of sulphate of alumina used, computed
from the decrease in alkalinity. Table B also shows the number of
bacteria in the samples, collected many times during the test.

BACTERIAL EFFICIENCY AFTER WASHING.

It is of considerable interest in mechanical filtration, to determine the
bacterial efficiency after washing. Numerous samples were collected, for
the purpose of demonstrating this feature, and the results of some of
the representative tests are given in the following table. It was also true,
at times, that, as the filter became clogged and the time for washing
approached, the number of bacteria in the effluent increased, as is ex¬
hibited in some of the instances chosen.

SPECIAL EXPERIMENTS, TO SHOW THE EFFECT OF
USING DIFFERENT QUANTITIES OF COAGULANT.

During the month of May, 1898, special experiments were under¬
taken with the the Warren Filter, to determine the effect of passing the
water through the bed without the application of coagulant, with very
little, and with large amounts of coagulant.

Most of these experiments were carried on when the turbidity was
not especially high, that is not above 0.10; in fact, we were obliged to
postpone some special ones when the river became too muddy.

The general features of these tests are brought out in the regular
monthly tables, but a few of the more important facts are best explained
by some special tables. The first one, Table G, shows, in two parts, the
effect of discontinuing the use of coagulant and how soon this is made
evident by the character of the effluent.

The second, Table H, shows how long it takes for the filter to

170

recover, after it lias been operated without coagulant,.when the coagulant
has just been applied, and in a large amount. It is a remarkable fact that
without the use of coagulant the mechanical filter clogs much more slowly
than otherwise, in fact, while operating without coagulant, during the
first few days of May, the filter ran 117 hours without washing, and then
was only washed because a clear bed was desired to start another experi¬
ment.

Note: —In examining the lirstset above it should be noticed that there was a wash¬
ing a short time prior to the beginning of the test. The last washing, previous to the sec¬
ond test, occurred many hours before, and evidently the filter bed was covered with a coagu¬
lated film and preparedjito filter for a longer time without any coagulant being added. It
may be said of the smaller results, secured shortly after the next washing, at 2.55 P. M.,
that the samples evidently contained some of the wash water which (as the Jewell effluent
was alone used for this purpose, at this time)was better than (he water which passed thiough
[he bed of the Warren Filter.

Filter not in operation for 72 hours, ending 9.00 A. M., January 25, on account of repairs to the
building.

* Wash meter broken; quantity of Wash Water estimated at 500 gallons per minute of actual wash¬
ing time.

The Warren Effluent Meter was found to register 13 per cent, in excess to March 14,1897* then 5
per cent, in excess to April 5, and then 4 per cent, in excess after the last date. All effluent quantities
are the proper percentage less than the meter records.

There was about2,400 gallons wasted from the surface of the Warren Filter each time it was washed.

REPORT OF RESIDENT ENGINEER,—JEWEIX FILTER.

CHAPTER IV.

Jewell Filter Experiments.

Description.

The Jewell Filter Plant consisted of a settling basin, an open filter,
with a sand area of 113 square feet; a device for adding coagulant to the '
applied water, and arrangements for washing and agitating the bed. The
construction of the filter, as well as all connections, is shown on Plates
No. 17 and No. 18, opposite page 182.

Settling Basin.

The settling basin consisted of a space in a circular wooden tank,
below the filter proper, which was thirteen feet in diameter inside. This
space was seven feet high and held 6,600 gallons, which was equal to the
normal flow for thirty-five minutes, when operating the filter at a rate
of 105,000,000 gallons per acre daily. The applied water was measured
before entering the settling basin by a four-inch meter. As the water
entered the basin, it was deflected by a curved iron casting, which directed
the current around the wall.

Coagulant.

A solution of sulphate of alumina, prepared as described in Chapter
III,* was added to the watehthrough a pipe, which discharged directly into
the current of the inflowing water. The solution was lifted by a small
steam pump, from one of the tubs in which it was prepared, to a small
tank above the filter. From this tank it flowed through an orifice plate,
which controlled the rate and which was changed as desired. A constant
head was maintained on the orifice by pumping an excess into the tank
and allowing the surplus to run back into the original tub.

It should be noted here, that prior to February 15, 1898, the solution
of sulphate of alumina was pumped directly into the settling basin from
the mixing tubs.

Filter.

The water passed upward from the settling basin to the filter _
through a central well, 0.58 foot in diameter, which projected 1.48 feet
above the surface of the sand. The main body of the sand was a yellow
beach sand, with round grains, from Red Wing, Minnesota. Beneath this
sand, there was a four-inch layer of crushed quartz. The total depth of
sand, on August 31, 1898, was 4.77 feet. The inflow was controlled by a
butterfly valve which was operated by a float in a tank, connected with
the water in the filter basin.

*See Page *56

PK-SCKIITION.

181

The filtered water entered the tmderdrains through 443 screens be-
ncath the sand. The top of the screen heads projected one inch above the
top of the pipes. 'Flic screens were composed of punched plates, having
nineteen holes to the linear inch in each direction; each hole being 0.025
inch in diamter. The main collecting conduits, were eliptical in shape
and had an area of 0.45 square foot, each; and 46 one-inch pipes were
screwed into these at right angles to the same. Screens were screwed into
holes tapped in the main conduits, into ells at the ends of pipe; and others
were fastened into holes in the inch pipes by clamps, which made them
fit tightly. All screens were spaced six inches apart on centers. The
screens on the main conduits were 0.17 foot higher than the others. The
total area of the holes in the screens was 1.36 square feet. The collecting
pipes were slightly raised above the wooden floor of the filter, and, in
order to give them support, small broken stones were laid underneath
and around the pipes. A layer of cement was laid on top of the stones,
coming close up under the screen heads.

The five-inch effluent pipe passed through the settling basin and out
at one side; beyond which it connected through gates, with the waste
pipe to the sewer, with the wash water pipe, and with a six-inch meter,
discharging through a regulating device to a clear water reservoir under
the floor. All samples of the effluent were collected from a half-inch tap
in the effluent pipe. An inch and one-half steam pipe, also connected
with the outlet pipe and was used to supply steam for cleansing the
filter.

The regulating apparatus was placed over the clear water reservoir.
It consisted of an orifice in the bottom of a chamber, which would give
the required rate of flow with a given head. When the water filtered
through the sand too freely it overflowed into a cup on the side. This
cup, by its weight, when full of water, closed a butterfly valve on the
effluent pipe. The orifice plate was 9.7 feet below that of the lowest screen
in the filter, and 17.0 feet below the level of the water on the filter.

Washing.

Wash water was measured by a four-inch meter and was delivered to
the collecting conduits, from which it passed up through the screens and
the bed of sand. The rakes were set in motion at the same time.
The muddy water flowed over the staves of the filter and was carried
off from the space between the walls of the filter and settling basin by
an eight-inch pipe leading to the sewer. The upward current lifted the
sand from its original position in the bed and during the early washings
several inches were carried over the top of the staves.

Occasionally the settling basin was also washed, by allowing the
wash water on top of the filter to pass down through the central well.

and out through an eight-inch waste pipe near the bottom. The shaft,
connected with the rake arms, ran down through the well and carried
on its lower end a curved iron casting. As the rake arms revolved, this
casting turned round and directed the current of the water, rushing down
through the well, into all parts of the settling basin and flushed out the
mud which had settled there.

Agitator.

Two beams ran across the filter which supported the gears and shaft¬
ing and the rake system, which was used to stir the bed. These rakes
were made of square bars of iron, four feet long on the long arm, and two
feet six inches on the short arm. To the bottom of each of these bars
a chain 0.75 foot long was attached. When the rakes hung in a vertical
position, the bottom of the chains on the long bars reached to within
2.43 feet, and on the short ones to within 3.59 feet, of the screens. The
long rakes were attached to arms which extended nearly the entire way
across the filter. The smaller rakes were fastened to short arms, at right
angles to the others and near the central well. It was possible to rotate
the rakes in either direction, by giving the power to the proper pulley
upon the counter shaft. The pulleys were driven by belts from the power
shaft at the top of the building and at such a speed that the rakes made
about seven turns each minute. Traveling in one direction, the rakes
assumed a vertical position and stirred up the bed of sand. When their
motion was reversed, they were raised through an arc of about sixty
degrees and the lower ends, with the chains, rested on the top of the bed.
When rotated slowly in this position, they made furrows about two
inches deep in the surface of the sand. This last process was called
“Trailing.”

Operations.

The filter was put into service on January 21, 1898, and from Jan¬
uary 30, it was operated throughout the twenty-four hours. The rate
was at first about 85,000,000 gallons per acre daily, but was increased
from time to time, until on March 1, 1898, it was about 105,000,000 gal¬
lons per acre daily, and continued at about that rate during the rest of
the experiments. The same sulphate of alumina was used as with the
Warren Filter, and the methods of preparing and computing the amounts
used were the same as described in Chapter III.* Beginning with March
24, 1898, the coagulant solution was applied during washing for several
minutes before the inlet gate was opened. Interruptions in the operations
are noted upon the monthly record sheets.

Sand Used.

During the process of washing the finest particles of sand were car¬
ried to the top of the bed and formed there a tine layer which clogged
quickly and shortened the periods between washings. In order to cor¬
rect this effect, sand was removed from the surface, at the request of the
filter company, on the following calendar dates:—

February 2, 1898,—ij inches. March

2, 1898,—ij inches.

When the filter was first put into operation the tops of the staves were
twenty-five inches above the surface of the sand. This distance was so
great that it prevented the current of wash water from carrying the
heavier particles of mud over the staves to the sewer. In order to remedv
this difficulty ten inches of sand were added to the filter on February 14,
and again on March 2, 1898. On March 30, eighteen inches were re¬
moved and twenty-four inches of coarser sand were added. The results
of the mechanical analyses of these sands are given in the following
table:—

VARIATIONS IN THE RATE OF FILTRATION AND IN THE APPLICATION
OF COAGULANT.

As with the Warren Filter, experiments were made to determine the
variations in the rate of filtration and in the application of the coagulant.
The variations were much less than those with the Warren Filter. The
results of the tests are given in the following Tables, B, C, and D:—

BACTERIAL EFFICIENCY AFTER WASHING.

Washing the sand in a mechanical filter destroys the compactness
of the layers. As a result of this disturbance the bacterial efficiency of
the filter was generally low after washing. Samples were collected fre¬
quently in order to show the effect produced, and the results are given
in the following tables. It will be noticed that with large quantities of

MECHANICAL EFFECT OF TRAILING.

When the filter had been in operation for a few hours after washing
the top layer of the sand became clogged. As a result of this the loss of
head increased and when it reached about eleven feet the surface was
trailed. By this treatment furrows were made on the top of the sand, and,
after trailing, the loss of head decreased materially. The filter was
operated without trailing from May 22 to June 7, 1898. When the bed
of sand was new, and, to a lesser extent, shortly after it had been cleansed
with caustic soda, trailing increased the length of the runs between wash¬
ings. But when the bed had become clogged after a service of many
weeks, the trailing failed to produce the former increase in length of runs.
These facts are illustrated in the following table:—

EFFECTS OF TRAILING ANI) OF CLEANSING.

101

EI'KECT OF CLEANSING WITH SODA ASH.

On February 15, and on August 8, 1898, the filter was cleansed with
a solution of soda ash and then washed thoroughly. One hundred
pounds of soda ash were dissolved and thrown upon the surface of the
water. A jet of steam was then applied through the underdrains, until the
water in the filter boiled. After boiling for ten minutes, the steam was
shut off and the filter allowed to stand until the water became cold. The
bed was then washed in the usual manner, but longer and with more
water. Just before cleansing the filter in February, ten inches of sand
were added to the bed. The bacterial results obtained at this time may
have been influenced by the new sand. For this reason only those results
are given which were obtained oil August 8, 1898. One effect of such
a cleansing was to renew the life of the bed in such a way, that the time
between washings was lengthened, and tradings became more effective,
and a greater number between washings were used.

SPECIAL EXPERIMENTS,

TO SHOW THE EFFECT OF USING DIFFERENT QUANTITIES OF COAGULANT.

Special tests were made during the month of June, 1898, to show the
effect which various quantities of coagulant would produce on the bac¬
terial efficiency of the Jewell Filter. The quantity of sulphate of alumina
was varied from zero to four grains per gallon.

CHAPTER V. ■

Worms Tile Filter Experiments.

Description.

Water purification by the Worms Tile Filter was carried out in two
separate and distinct stages. The first by coagulation, sedimentation,
and crude filtration, and the second by filtration through tiles. Two
iron tanks were used, each of which was subdivided by a plate partition.
This gave us two systems, alike, but independent of each other. All
details and arrangements of this system were as suggested by the company
controlling the patent rights and are shown upon Plates No. 19 and No.
20, opposite page 204.

In the first test, extending from November 25, 1897, to April 9,
1898, two different methods were tried. In one battery the applied water
was coagulated, as well as settled, by the addition of ferric chloride, and
in the other the water was simply settled, before passing to the filter
tank. In each case the water was metered as it entered the tanks. In the
second test, extending from June 12 to August 27, 1898, the applied
-water was treated with coagulant before passing to each battery. One
meter and feeding device for coagulant answered for both sets of tiles,
the treated and metered water being equally divided.

Coagulating Solution and Apparatus.

The coagulant used in the first experiments was a solution of
perchloride of iron, having a specific gravity of 1.25. This stock solution
was further diluted with water for use, and the specific gravity reduced
to 1.07. After the plant was remodeled and during the second test a
different coagulant was used. The new solution was made by dissolving
an iron ore in 15 0 Baume muriatic acid. This solution was prepared
in small quantities, as required. The ore contained 64.7 per cent, of
oxide of iron, 1.78 per cent, of carbonate of lime, 9.87 per cent, of silica,
and 23.65 per cent, of water. About two per cent, of the total iron was
present as ferrous oxide, the remainder being ferric oxide. The solution,
which was a thick, muddy mixture, was added, drop by drop, to the
water as it flowed from the meter into the first tank.

The dropping apparatus consisted of three glass bottles. The lower
one held the iron solution and the other two were reservoirs for water
and air, respectively. They were so arranged that a drop of water, falling
from the first into the second, displaced an equal volume of air, which in
turn caused a drop of the iron solution to fall into the water.

Scrubbers.

Settling Tanks, No. 3 and No. 4, designated as “Scrubbers,” were
the ones in which the first step toward purification was carried out.

DESCRIPTION.

act

These tanks contained, beginning at the bottom, a layer of bricks, placed
on edge about one inch apart, with the open channels converging towards
the outlet. On top of these bricks a six-inch layer of coarse stone, the size
of ordinary ballast, was placed. Next eighteen inches of screenings, then
six inches of gravel, ranging in size from one-quarter to one-half inch
in diameter, and finally, three inches of ballast, completed the scrubber.
The capacity to the overflow, was 770 gallons. The function of this part
of the system, as stated by the filter company, “was to remove all sus¬
pended matter to such an extent, that the water delivered to the tiles
should be clear and transparent; also, to remove bacteria to such a
degree, that less than 100 per cubic centimeter would remain in the water
applied to the tiles.” From the bottom of the scrubber, a three-inch pipe
carried the water into the top of the filter tank.

Filter Tanks and Tiles.

In the filter tank the final step in the purification was accomplished.
This tank contained the artificial sandstone tiles, connected with piping,
fittings and the valves and gates, necessary for their operation.

The tiles were made in Germany and shipped direct for the purpose
of these experiments. They were composed of sand and ground glass
mixed and baked in a mould at about the melting point of glass. In the
center of each tile was an open chamber, of about 0.50 cubic foot capacity,
into which the filtered water passed.

The effluent from each tile fell, without interruption, into a glass
cylinder, named the indicator, three inches in diameter, and fifteen inches
high, with a bottom of brass plate one-eighth inch thick. In the center
of this plate there was a standard orifice, 0.376 inch in diameter, and a
scale on the side of the indicator showed directly the rate of flow in
“Gallons per Twenty-four Hours.”

Washing.

The filter was washed by a reverse current from an iron tank,
holding 350 gallons; the high water elevation of which was 19.5 feet
above the centers of the tiles. This tank was connected to each tile and
to the scrubbers and was filled by pumping the effluents from the
tiles. Sometimes more wash water was required than the tiles would
supply and in such cases the effluents fiom the sand filters were used.

When the condition of the water passing from the scrubber became
poor, contained flocks, or was turbid; or, when the scrubber became so
clogged that it did not supply sufficient water for the tiles, its life was
renewed by washing. The inlet and coagulant feed were shut off and a
reverse current of filtered water, from the overhead tank, passed through
for a few minutes. This was supplemented by washing with a small
hose stream of sand-filtered water. When the scrubber was first put

204 ItEIUKT OK RESIDENT ENGINEER,—WORMS TILE Kll.TEU.

into service after washing, the rate of inlet water was about 1,300 gallons
per tile for twenty-four hours. This rate was gradually increased to the
usual amount, of 1,850 gallons, and the scrubber used until it again
became clogged, when the process was repeated.

To wash a tile, the gate connecting the tile with the overhead tank
was opened cautiously and a reverse current of water allowed to pass
through the tile. In the earlier experiments it was customary to use
one tank full, 350 gallons, for each tile. In the later tests, however, only
one-half a tank full was used for each tile. The rate, of flow was about
130 gallons per minute.

Operations.

The successful operation of the Tile Filter depended so largely upon
the correct addition of the coagulant that almost constant attention was
necessary. The amount of iron solution was varied from thirty to eighty
drops per minute, according to the condition of the applied water; very
slight change in the turbidity necessitating a readjustment of the drop¬
per. The water, after being treated with the iron solution and after passing
through the scrubber, was required to be almost without opalescence, in
order that the effluent from the tiles should be clear. The nicety of this
adjustment can be better appreciated when it is considered that, up to a
certain point, which varied with the condition of the applied water, the
addition of the iron solution would cause a decided improvement. When
the proper end point was reached, no opalescence could be detected in
the water so treated. If, however, a little more iron was added, not only
was the iron solution wasted, but the water so treated became again
opalescent.

The water in the filter tank, in the first experiment, was always kept
at a constant level at the height of the overflow, which gave a head of
2.5 feet on the effluent pipes. In the second test the maximum head
permitted was 0.9 foot. In the first instance the effluent valves were
regulated so that a constant rate was obtained, as the loss of head in¬
creased. In the second case, the valves were left wide open and the
head in the tank gradually increased to the maximum, as the loss of head
increased. As the process of filtration proceeded, the loss of head, which
represented the clogging of the tiles, became greater and greater, until
a point was reached when practically no water passed through. In
actual practice, however, washing was resorted to before this point was
reached.

Breakage of Tiles.

Great care was taken in opening the wash gates, so that a sudden
rush of water was avoided. Tiles were frequently broken, however,
while washing; in fact, during the last week of the first test, we used only
one tile, and we should have been obliged to stop the experiments with

this system, had not new tiles been furnished. It was possible that air
collected in the wash piping system which gave an opportunity for a
water hammer when the gate was opened, and caused the trouble. This
piping was changed, however, July 21, 1898, to overcome this difficulty,
and yet after this, two tiles were broken. All the breakage occurred
when the tiles had been in use some time and when they had become
somewhat clogged. It was noticed that, with the continued use of the
tiles, the passage of the water through them became less free, and their
bacterial efficiency increased. It is probable, therefore, that the clogging
was of a permanent nature, and reduced the size of the passages, and,
with this increasing obstruction, the pressure inside the tiles at the time
of washing became greater, hence the breaking. As it was, the tiles were
broken at about the time when satisfactory bacterial results commenced
to be obtained.

The following table gives the dates when tiles were broken:—

REPORT OF RESIDENT ENGINEER,—WORMS TIDE FILTER.

It will be seen that the numbers are low just previous to washing and
that they were largely increased after this process. After washing, the
high numbers usually extended over a period, not exceeding half an hour,
after which the tile reached its normal efficiency. It will he found, how¬
ever, that when the number of bacteria was ioo per cubic centimeter, or
less, a corresponding decrease in the quantity of filtered water took place.

Tabulation of Results.

On the following pages are tables showing the daily results, from
this filter, secured in both tests. Only the bacterial results are given for
the first test and for the first month of the second. The last two tables

CHAPTER VI.

Boiler Experiments.

Description.

It was originally intended to supply the filtered water to the boilers
at the Brilliant Pumping Station. Certain obstacles were found, how¬
ever, which made this impracticable. Later, the Oil Well Supply Com¬
pany kindly loaned new boilers for the purpose of an experiment and
three of twenty-five horse-power each, were set up in a shed, annexed to
the filter building. They were operated as follows:—No. i, with the
effluent from the sand filters; No. 2, with the effluent from the mechanical
filters; and No. 3, with unfiltered river water.

The boilers, which were of the locomotive type, with a steam dome
near the fire box end, are such as are used generally in the oil well regions.
The following are the principal dimensions, as obtained from the trade
catalogue:—

Horse Power (“Oil Country” Rating). 25 ^

Horse Power (Rating at 12 sq. ft. H. S. per H. P.) 30

Diameter. 40 inches.

Length. 14 feet

Height. 8 “

Number of three-inch tubes. 48

Length of tubes. 96 inches

Heating Surface.369 square feet.

Length of Furnace. 50 inches.

Width of Furnace. 40 “ '

The boilers arrived about the middle of May and were placed in ser¬
vice June 5, 1898. The gas was supplied through a four-inch line, about
400 feet long, from an eight-inch main in the Pumping Station yard. The
pressure was maintained at about eight ounces, by a regulator placed in
the building. A three-inch pipe from the regulator passed to each gas
meter, and, thence, a one and one-half-inch pipe to each boiler. Each
burner consisted of a two-inch pipe, placed at right angles to the axis of
the boiler and in the front part of the fire-box, a few inches above the
grate. This pipe was perforated with three rows of three-eighths-inch
holes, which were spaced from one-half to three-quarters of an inch apart.
One row of holes was placed on top of the pipe and the other two, each
one inch from this; there were 147 holes in all. A mixer, placed in front
of each boiler, regulated the supply of gas and air; the latter being drawn
in by a steam jet from a one-half-inch pipe. The gate was covered with a
piece of sheet iron, with fire clay placed over the same, to make it tight..
The gas was burned with a blue flame, as far as possible, and if any odor
was noticed coming from the stacks, more steam was put on. It was en¬
deavored to maintain a constant supply of gas at the rate of about twentv
cubic feet per minute.

Water was supplied to each boiler through a three-quarter-inch pipe t

FORMATION OF SCAI.K.

No. i and No. 2 were filled by injectors, the first lifting about ten feet
through about fifty feet of pipe with many bends, and the second doing
somewhat less work. The suction pipe for the injector to No. 2 Boiler
was connected with the outlet pipe from each mechanical filter; so that
the effluent from either, alone, could be used, if that from the other was for
some reason objectionable. It was also possible to supply both of these
boilers with the small pump, in case the injector failed to work. This hap¬
pened very frequently at first. Later, however, injectors of a larger size
were used with better results. Boiler No. 3 was supplied from the city
main at about 140 pounds pressure.

Formation of Scale.

The boilers were drawn off occasionally, in order to observe their
condition in regard to the formation of scale; sometimes by blowing off
hot and sometimes by allowing the pressure to lessen and the water to
cool before emptying. We found that the first method gave us a better
chance to distinguish the scale and determine its characteristics; the latter
allowed some of the salts to go back into solution and some of the mud
to settle down to the bottom, and the scale was not as firmly baked on.
For this reason, at the times upon which samples of the scale were col¬
lected and observations made, the first method of drawing off was adopted.

On August 10, 1898, all the boilers were emptied; the gas was shut
off at 3.30 A. M., and the pressure gradually reduced to twenty pounds,
at which time the boilers were blown off. At 10.00 A. M. the boilers were
opened, hand-holes removed, and an inspection made. The best observa¬
tions were made, however, some few hours later after the inside surface
had been given a chance to dry. Samples of scale were collected at this
time from the same place on the crown sheet of each boiler, the area of
each being about sixteen square inches. Samples were also collected of
the material which had oozed through the hand-holes, in Boilers No. 1
and No. 2, placed just under the flues at the smoke-box end; also one from
the side of the fire-box on Boiler No. 3. The following table shows the
analyses of these samples as reported by the Chemist: —

Samples Nos. i, 2, and 3 were collected, respectively, from the crown-
sheets of boilers having these numbers, and indicate the character of the
formation with the different waters. As far as observation could deter¬
mine, the thickness of the scale in each was about 1-32 inch, but the
weights, as given, would show that the scale in Boiler No. 2 was thicker
than that in either of the other two. Notes taken at the time of collec¬
tion show that scale in No. 1 was “hard and tenacious.” In No. 2, “hard,
brittle, and cracks off easily.” In No. 3, “soft and powdery.” The Chem¬
ist also states that in grinding up the samples, No. 2 was found to be the
hardest. Samples No. 4 and No. 5, from the hand-holes, show large
amounts of sodium chloride, which evidently precipitated out of solution
at this place, where the water was cooler than elsewhere. Sample No. 6
was collected from the side of the fire-box of Boiler No. 3, where a heavy
granular layer was noticed on the vertical plate.

The boilers were finally blown off August 29, 1898, and by the in¬
spection then made the scale seemed to be about the same as before.
They were then returned to the owners, who made a very thorough exam¬
ination and collected samples of scale. The samples were analyzed bv
the Chemist and the results are given below:—

Sample No. 1 was collected from sides at the bottom of Boiler No. 1.

Sample No. 2 was collected from the crown-sheet of Boiler No. 2.

Sample No. 3 was collected from the bottom and mud ring of Boiler
No. 3.

As these samples were not taken from the same place in each boiler a
comparison is somewhat more difficult than before. We have, however,
the benefit of the rigid inspection made by a practical boiler man, and, by
the kindness of the Oil Well Supply Company, are privileged to give ab¬
stracts of the report of their expert upon the condition of the boilers:—

CONCLUSION.

21 «

Boiler No. I:—

“The crown-sheet is covered with hard scale, the sides for about half
way up are covered with a sand scale of about k inch in thickness. There
is very little sediment in the mud ring, but little of the scale having
dropped off. What there is, is of a decidedly sandy nature. The stay
bolts and rivet heads in the bottom are thickly covered with sand. Stay
bolt braces and rivet heads in top are in good condition. The tubes, as far
as we can see, are in fair condition.”

Boiler No. 2:—

“The crown-sheet is coated with about 1-32 inch of hard scale; the
sides and bottom, also the rivet heads, are covered with a very rough
coating; the rivet heads being badly corroded. There is very little sedi¬
ment in the mud ring. Stay bolts in bottom are slightly coated, while
those at the top are in good condition. The tubes are covered with a
sandy, hard coating.”

Boiler No. 3:—

“The crown-sheet is covered slightly with a soft scale, the sides are
covered with a sand and mud scale, varying from | to \ inch in thickness,
but this is loose and can easily be removed; there already being a consid¬
erable amount of same in the mud ring, which has dropped off. The stay
bolts and rivet heads around the bottom are thickly covered with a loose
mud sediment; the stay bolts, braces, and rivet heads above the crown-
sheet are in good condition; the tubes are slightly coated.”

General:—

“In our.opinion Boiler No. 3 is in the best condition; for while there
is considerable scale and sediment, it is soft, adheres loosely, and can eas¬
ily be washed off and removed. The other boilers we would consider on
a par; the only difference being that the rivets in No. 2 are badly cor¬
roded and the tubes have a thicker coating than either of the others. Con¬
sidering all things, we believe this boiler to be in the worst condition of
the three.”

CONCLUSION.

We have, then, in conclusion, that filtration of the Allegheny River
water removes the mud and insoluble matter which would, by depositing,
cause the boilers to be frequently cleaned and washed out. The incrust-
ing properties which remain, while they may not make a scale as quickly
or as thick, as if greater amounts of other material were present, yet,
when the deposit is formed, it is hard, of a character which gives it the
name of “porcelain scale,” and difficult to remove except by tools.

The results of the chemical analyses of the various samples of boiler
waters will be found in Appendix No. 2, page 315. .These samples were
always collected from the blow-off pipes, and, when the recorded tempera-

the sample was collected, was out of service at the time.

APPENDIX No. I.

Mr. Morris Knowles,

Resident Engineer ,

Pittsburgh Filtration Commission.

Sir :—

I beg to submit herewith my report upon the methods, and a discus¬
sion of the results, of the chemical analyses made for the Filtration Com¬
mission. The results have been reported to you from time to time during
the progress of the work.

, PART I.

. Methods.

The methods of chemical examination will be described in the same
order as that in which the results are given in the tables, in Appendix
No. 2. The solutions used will be mentioned in each case before the de¬
scription of the method of analysis.

Collection of Samples and Preliminary Examination.

Half-gallon acid bottles were used in which to collect the samples.
These held the amount necessary for examination, with a small margin
of surplus. The collector noted upon the label the place, time of collec¬
tion, temperature of water, and in the case of the river, gate chamber,
and settling basin samples, after May 17, 1898, the result of the observa¬
tion of the turbidity. For those samples, the turbidity of which was not
determined at the time of collection, a comparison was always made with
standards graded as follows:— „

Turbidity. Sediment.

1. Clear. 1. None.

2. Very Slight. 2. Very Slight.

3. Slight. 3. Slight.

4. Decided. 4. Decided.

5. Very Turbid. 5. Heavy.

6. Muddy. . 6. Very Heavy.

Any odor was noted and described.

COLOR.*

Solutions.

The standard solution whose color was 5.0, was prepared as follows:—
1.246 grams of potassium-platinum chloride, containing 0.5 grams of
platinum and one gram of cobalt chloride (crystallized), containing 0.25
♦Allen Hazen, American Chemical Journal; Vol. XIV, 1892.

APPENDIX NO. I,—REPORT OK OFTEMrST.

2J6

gram of cobalt were dissolved in 200 c. c. (1:1) of hydrochloric acid
and the solution made up to one liter. By diluting 1, 2, 3, 4, c. c., etc,,
up to 50 c. c., in Nessler tubes, color standards of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, etc.,
were obtained.

Method.

After a scale had been made, as described above, 50 c. c. of the sam¬
ple under examination was placed in a Nessler tube. The color observed,
upon looking down through the tube at a white porcelain plate, was com¬
pared with the standards until a corresponding color was found.

Fractional standards were also found to be useful.

NITROGEN AS AMMONIA.

Solutions.

1. Nessler s Reagent :—To prepare this solution, 35 grams of potas¬
sium iodide and 13 grams of corrosive sublimate were placed in about
600 to 700 cubic centimeters of water and heated to the boiling point.
When everything was dissolved, a cold strong solution of corrosive
sublimate was added, until the color of peroxide of mercury became per¬
manent. One hundred and sixty grams of potassium hydrate were then
added and the solution diluted to one liter.

2. Standard Ammonia: —This was made by dissolving 3.15 grams
of ammonium chloride in one liter of water. This gave a strength of
one milligram of ammonia to each cubic centimeter. A weaker solution
was made by diluting the above solution to one-hundredth of the original
strength. For very delicate work this may be diluted again; although
when the one-hundredth solution was used and run in from a good
burette, fractional parts were very readily determined.

j. Caustic Permanganate :—To prepare this, 200 grams of stick
caustic potash and 8 grams of permangante of potash were dissolved
in one liter of water. The solution was then boiled down, to about
one-half its original bulk, in order to remove all traces of ammonia. On
cooling, it was made up to one liter again with distilled water, free from
ammonia.

4. Carbonate of Soda :—With acid waters it was necessary to add a
few cubic centimeters of a saturated solution of carbonate of soda, before
determining the ammonia.

Apparatus.

In our laboratory a large eight place still or condenser was used for
making the ammonia distillations. The apparatus consisted of a copper
tank, surrounding eight block tin worms, which at the upper end were
connected with the distilling flasks. The lower ends were at such a height
from the table that Nessler tubes were easily set under and withdrawn.

COLOR—AMMONIA—NITRITES.

227

Method.

1. Free Ammonia: —Five hundred cubic centimeters of the water to
be tested were placed in a one liter glass flask, and after connecting the lat¬
ter with the condenser it was boiled over a Bunsen burner. The first three
tubes full of distillate were set aside and nesslerized. The result obtained
gives the “Nitrogen as Free Ammonia.” One more portion of 50 c. c.
was distilled and discarded.

2. Albuminoid Ammonia: —The distillation was now stopped for a
time, then 50 cubic centimeters of the caustic permanganate solution were
introduced into the flask and the operation continued. Three portions
were again caught and nesslerized for “Albuminoid Ammonia.”

Nesslerizing.

To the glass containing a portion (50 c. c.) of the distillate, two
cubic centimeters of Nessler's solution were added, and the color ob¬
tained, after standing ten minutes, was compared with standards also
treated with two cubic centimeters of Nessler’s solution. A fresh scale
of standards was generally made for each set of distillations.

nitrogen as nitrites.

Solutions.

1. Nitrite: —A standard nitrite solution was prepared by
dissolving 0.406 gram of silver nitrite in boiling water. Sodium chloride
was added until no further precipitation of silver chloride occurred, and
the solution was then made up to one liter.

One hundred cubic centimeters of the clear supernatant fluid were
drawn off and diluted to one liter. One cubic centimeter of this solution,
which was further diluted for use, is equal to one-hundredth of a milligram
of nitrous acid.

2. Color: —The solution for obtaining the color with the
nitrous acid, which may be contained in a sample of water, was made
up after the method described by Leffman, which is a modification of
Greiss’ method.*

(a) 0.5 gram of sulphanilic acid was dissolved in 150 cubic cen¬
timeters of dilute sulphuric acid.

(b) 0.1 gram of naphthylaniine was boiled with 20 cubic centimeters
of water. The colorless solution was decanted and mixed with 150 cubic
centimeters of dilute sulphuric acid.

The two solutions (a and b) were then mixed.

*“Examination of Water”—3d, Ed. 1895, Page 44—Henry Leffman.

228

APPENDIX NO. I,—REPORT OF CHEMIST.

Method.

Fifty cubic centimeters of the samples were placed in a Nessler tube
and one cubic centimeter of the solution (2) was added. After standing
twenty minutes a comparison was made with the standards.

NITROGEN AS NITRATES.

Solutions.

1. Sodium Hydrate: —This was prepared by dissolving 100
grams of sodium hydrate in a liter of distilled water; when the hydrate
was dissolved a good sized piece of aluminum foil was dropped into the
vessel. It was generally found necessary to weight the foil with a glass
rod to keep it on the bottom of the containing vessel. When the aluminum
was completely dissolved the solution was boiled down, until about one-
half of the original bulk remained. Upon cooling, it was again made up
to one liter. This solution was thus made free from nitrates.

2. Aluminum Foil: —This was used for generating hydrogen, by
reacting with the caustic solution to reduce the nitrates to ammonia.

Method.

Two hundred cubic centimeters of the water were evaporated down to
one-third of the original volume, with ten cubic centimeters of the caustic
solution in a porcelain dish. On cooling, the liquid was decanted into a
salt-mouth bottle of a little over 200 cubic centimeters capacity. The
bottle was filled up to the 200 cubic centimeter mark and a piece
of aluminum foil added. This was allowed to stand uncovered over night
and the next morning 50 cubic centimeters were withdrawn and nessler-
ized. The amount of nitric acid was calculated from the amount of
ammonia found.

During the early part of our work we distilled before nesslerizing,
but this was found to be both inconvenient and unsatisfactory. It was
found to be unnecessary under ordinary conditions to keep the bottles
corked over night. We tried connecting a thistle tube which was filled
with broken pumice soaked in dilute hydrochloric acid. By many
comparisons with standards, the open bottle method proved its superiority.

CHLORINE.

Solutions.

1. Silver Nitrate: —This was prepared by dissolving 4,79 grams
of pure silver nitrate in one liter of water. One cubic centimeter of this
solution will precipitate one milligram of chlorine as silver chloride.

2. Potassium Chromate: —A solution of potassium chromate of
a strength of about 5 grams to 100 cubic centimeters of water was used
as an indicator.

NITRATES—CH I.0K1.\' E - SOU US.

22fl

Method.

One hundred cubic centimeters of water to be tested were placed in a
porcelain dish, to which a few drops of the chromate solution were added.
The silver nitrate solution was run in from a burette until the red color
of silver chromate appeared.

RESIDUE ON EVAPORATION.

Method.

Both “Filtered Solids” and “Unfiltered Solids” were determined in all
samples, which showed any considerable amount of suspended matter.
The sample was thoroughly shaken in the bottle; ioo cubic centimeters ,
were then withdrawn and evaporated to dryness in a weighed platinum
dish over the water bath. After drying in this manner, the dish, with
residue, was placed for ten minutes in the air bath, which was held at
104° C. to remove the last traces of water. The weight of this residue
in milligrams gives the “Unfiltered Solids” in parts per 100,000. For
“Filtered Solids” 100 cubic centimeters were evaporated in like manner
after having been passed through a double thickness of best German filter-
paper.

The difference between “Filtered” and “Unfiltered Solids” gives the
result for “Suspended Matter.”

For a long time, the results for “Filtered Solids,” obtained by this
method, were unsatisfactory. As an example:—although it was known
that the hardness of the Allegheny River water was increased in passing
through the sand filters, a corresponding increase of solids in the effluent,
over those in the river water, was not observed. Upon investigation it
was found that the best filter papers contained enough soluble matter to
vitiate the results. One hundred cubic centimeters of distilled water took
up, on an average, one part per 100,000, in passing through double papers.
After the papers had been washed with 150 to 200 cubic centimeters of this
water there was no increase. As a matter of safety, therefore, we washed
the papers thoroughly with distilled water and afterwards passed about
100 cubic centimeters of the sample through, before a portion was taken
for evaporation, and after this we had no trouble.

LOSS ON IGNITION.

, Method.

After the determination of “Filtered Solids” the dish was heated
over a Bunsen burner to a faint red heat and the loss in weight noted in
milligrams.

230

APPENDIX NO. I,—REPORT OP CHEMIST.

HARDNESS.

Solution.

Standard Soap: —A solution of castile soap in 35^ alcohol
was balanced against a standard solution of calcium carbonate, contain¬
ing one milligram of carbonate of lime to the cubic centimeter. As 100
cubic centimeters of distilled water will produce a lather only after about
one cubic centimeter of soap solution is added, a correction had to be
made for this. The soap solution was standardized, so that 100 cubic
centimeters of solution containing 10 milligrams of carbonate of lime
required 11 cubic centimeters of the soap solution. Then in each case
the number of cubic centimeters of soap solution minus one gives the
“Hardness,” expressed in parts per 100,000.

Method.

One hundred cubic centimeters of the sample were placed in a glass
stoppered bottle, of about 250 cubic centimeters capacity, and soap solu¬
tion was run in slowly with frequent shakings of the bottle, until a per¬
sistent lather was formed.

There are many objections to the soap method of determining “Hard¬
ness.” It is perhaps not to be commended for accuracy, but where experi¬
ments are undertaken with a view to ascertaining the suitability of a water
supply for household purposes, the effect upon the soap consumption is
a matter of great moment. This is especially the case in a city like Pitts¬
burgh.

ALKALINITY.

Solution.

Sulphuric Acid: —A fiftieth normal solution of this acid was used.
One cubic centimeter of this solution will neutralize one milligram of
calcium carbonate, and the results are therefore reported in parts per
100,000 of this carbonate.

Method.

One hundred cubic centimeters of the sample were placed in a 200 c. c.
porcelain dish, to which a drop of methyl orange indicator was added.
The /u acid was then run in drop by drop from a burette, until the
yellow color of the methyl orange just began to turn pink. The great
advantage of the methyl orange is that the determination may be carried
out in the cold.

SULPHURIC ACID.

Solutions.

Barium Chloride :—A solution containing 100 grams of this salt to
the liter is used.

1IAUDNKH8—SULPHURIC ACID—IRON—ALUMINA. 231

Method.

Two hundred cubic centimeters of the sample, which must have been fil¬
tered if not already clear, were used for the determination. Two cubic
centimeters of the barium chloride solution and a few drops of hydro¬
chloric acid were added and the solution evaporated in a beaker on the hot
plate, to a small bulk, or until the barium sulphate was completely precipi¬
tated. The precipitate was filtered, washed, ignited, anch weighed as
barium sulphate and the sulphuric acid calculated from the result.

IRON.

Solutions.

1. Standard Iron: —This was prepared by dissolving 0.7 gram
of ferrous ammonium sulphate in water, which was acidified with
sulphuric- acid and then oxidized with permanganate of potash and
finally diluted to one liter. The strength was therefore one-tenth milli¬
gram to one cubic centimeter. Another standard was made by diluting
the above named solution ten times, which gave one one-hundredth
milligram to one cubic centimeter.

2. Sulphuric Acid: —A 30# solution of this was prepared.

3. Thiocyanate :—A solution containing 50 grams to the liter of
potassium sulphocyanate was used.

Method.

One hundred cubic centimeters of the sample were first evaporated
to dryness and then taken up with dilute hydrochloric acid, after which
a lit'tle permanganate was added. The excess of hydrochloric acid was
boiled off and 5 cubic centimeters of sulphuric acid (30^ solution) with
15 cubic centimeters of thiocyanate were added. This solution was then
diluted to the original volume (100 c. c.). The depth of color of the
sample, after the above treatment, was compared with standards treated
in the same way, until a good match was found.

ALUMINA.

Solutions,

1. Alum: —A standard solution was made up of such strength, that
each cubic centimeter contained one milligram of oxide of aluminum.
Portions of this solution were readily diluted, so that each cubic centimeter
contained one one-hundredth milligram of alumina.

2. Logwood: —This was prepared by making successive infusions
of logwood chips. The first four were decanted and discarded and the
fifth was saved for use. It was generally found better to prepare a fresh
solution for each set of determinations.

232

APPENDIX NO. I,—KEI’OKT OK CHEMIST.

Method.

Five hundred cubic centimeters of the water were evaporated to small
bulk and placed in a Nessler tube. If necessary this was diluted to the
mark, and then one cubic centimeter of logwood solution was added.
The color obtained was compared with standards similarly treated. This
method was found to be somewhat erratic. The color was often brought
out by the addition of a few drops of’acetic acid.

DISSOLVED OXYGEN.

Solutions.

1. Manganous Sulphate:• —This was prepared by dissolving about
30 grams of the salt in the least quantity of water.

2. Sodium Hydrate: —A saturated solution containing about 10
grams of potassium iodide to 100 cubic centimeters was used.

3. Sodium Thiosulphate: —For titrating the liberated iodide a
one-hundredth normal solution was used.

Method.

The sample was collected.in a bottle of about 250 c. c. capacity,
which was carefully calibrated, and the temperature of the water at time
of taking the sample was noted. With a small pipette one cubic centi¬
meter of the potassium iodide solution was added; then one cubic centi¬
meter of the manganous sulphate solution was run in carefully with a pip¬
ette and the bottle was shaken up. The liberated iodine was titrated with
the thiosulphate solution. Results were calculated to milligrams of
oxygen per liter and were reported in percentages of the amount held by
distilled water, saturated with air at the same temperature. A table giv¬
ing the quantity of dissolved oxygen in water saturated with air for the
temperatures from 32°F. to 36°F. was used.

PART II.

Discussion.

In the tables, found in Appendix No. 2, the results are grouped
according to the locality at which samples were collected.

In regard to the general character of the Allegheny River and
Monongahela River waters the following may be stated:—The appear¬
ance of the waters changes very quickly after rains, as is shown by the
figures .in the column headed “Turbidity.” The dissolved solids vary
according to the height of the rivers. After heavy rains the amount of
solids in solution is small. The color of the river water has generally
been due to suspended matter, though, occasionally, dissolved color has
been found which has not been removed by filtration except with the use
of coagulant.

DISSOLVED OXYGEN—DISCUSSION.

233

Chlorine is always present, the Allegheny containing more than the
Monongahela. At some points on the Allegheny, Montrose Pumping
Station in particular, the chlorine figures were frequently very large.
This is probably not clue to sewage contamination, as the free ammonia
is not correspondingly abundant, but to subterranean waters. On
drilling the well at Brilliant, salt water was found at a depth of 141 feet.
The Allegheny and its tributaries drain the oil country where, in drilling
for oil, salt water has often been found.

The Monongahela River water contains large proportionate amounts
of sulphuric acid, due to the mine waters discharged into it by the
Youghiogheny River, Turtle Creek, and other streams. .

The water at Twenty-ninth Street, where we obtained our samples
never gave an acid reaction with methyl orange. The fact that the
Monongahela River is slack water has a great bearing upon its chemical
character. During long dry spells, the flow of water from the mines
being practically constant, the water in .the pools formed by the dams
becomes very acid. During the time in which the Filtration Commission
has been making observations, we have had no very protracted dry
spells, and we have not been able to test the Monongahela water when
in this peculiar condition.

As a rule, the Allegheny River is less heavily charged with organic
matter than the Monongahela. At Brilliant, on the Allegheny, we have
found a variation of from 0.0042 to 0.0360 parts per 100,000 of nitrogen,
as albuminoid ammonia. The nitrogen as nitrates shows a variation of
from 0.0018 to 0.2100 parts per 100,000. Nitrogen very seldom occurs
as nitrites showing that oxidation is very complete. The percentage of
saturation with oxygen of the samples of water collected from the gate
chamber of the sand filters which corresponds to the river water, has
always been high.

Very respectfully,

Walther Riddle,

Chemist.

Number of Bacteria per Cubic Centimeter.

APPENDIX No. 2 .

APPENDIX No. 2.

In this appendix a short description is given of the sources from
which samples were collected, followed in each case by a table of the
results of the chemical analyses. The last column of the tables shows
the number of bacteria per cubic centimeter, counted in the correspond¬
ing bacterial sample, collected at the same time. In the case of the
samples collected from the gate chamber, settling basin, and effluents
from filters, the number of bacteria given is the average for the twenty-
four hours ending 9.00 A. M., of the date following the calendar date
given in the second column. The statements about the sources of the
samples, not collected at the experimental filter plant, were obtained
from the officials in charge of the various works.

In addition to those samples relating directly to the filter experi¬
ments, others were collected occasionally, of the water supplies of
Pittsburgh, Allegheny, and of some of the neighboring places. It was
desired especially to learn about the character of the water obtained from
the various cribs in the Allegheny River. A study of the results given
in the several tables will show to what extent these devices changed the
character of the river water, and it may be readily seen that, in general,
the effluents from the cribs were clear and nearly free from suspended
matter, except after an occasional very muddy period of the river; that
the number of bacteria in the same was usually less than in the river,
and that the hardness of the water from the cribs was materially greater
than that of the samples of river water. It should be noted, in exception
to the above, that the effluents from the cribs at Montrose and Millvale
differed but very little, in regard to the items mentioned, from the river
water.

ALLEGHENY RIVER AT BRILLIANT.

Samples of the “Allegheny River at Brilliant” were collected about
once a week, from the beginning of the work until March 1, 1898; for
the next three months samples were collected twice a week, and after
June 1, 1898, samples were again collected once a week, until the close
of the experiments. Additional samples were occasionally collected, for
the special determination of the “Suspended Matter,” and the turbidities
were observed by the stick scale method at the same time. The results
of the analyses of these special samples are given last.

APPENDIX.NO. 2.

The water supply of Wards 1-23, inclusive, of Pittsburgh, is obtained
from the river at Brilliant Pumping Station. The intakes to the pump
wells are three 36-inch pipes and one 48-inch pipe; the former being
180 feet long and the latter 230 feet. The outer ends of these pipes are
protected by timber cribs, which are covered with “T” rails, spaced four
inches apart, and riprapped with stone.

The samples were collected, sometimes from a boat in the stream
over the intake, but more often from the current passing by a raft of
logs, moored to the bank, about 800 feet above the pumping station.

PITTSBURGH CITY TAP.

Samples of “Tap Water” in the city of Pittsburgh were collected about
once a week during the months of June to November, inclusive, 1897, and
then occasionally until March 1, 1898.

All of the water pumped from Brilliant, first passes into the Highland
Reservoir, of about 117,000,000 gallons capacity, and then is distributed
over the city. „

At first these samples were collected in the laboratory of Coster &
Riddle, and later, after October, 1897, in a blacksmith-shop in Cherry
Alley, near the Public Safety Building. The second sample, dated
September 22 , 1897, and the one dated September 27, 1897, were also
collected at the latter place.

GATE CHAMBER.

Samples from the “Gate Chamber” were collected, after the sand
filters were placed in operation, twice a week until December, 1897, and,
since then, once a week until the close of the experiments. Four additional
samples were obtained for the special determination of “Suspended
Matter.”

These samples were collected a short distance below the surface
of the water in the “Gate Chamber,” where the inlet pipe entered to sup¬
ply water to the Sand Filter Plant.

APPENDIX NO. 2.

SETTLED WATER—WORMS TILE FILTER.

Samples of the water, which had been settled by the addition of the
chemical and passage through the material in the settling tanks, were col¬
lected once a week, from the beginning of the test upon this filter until the
first of April, 1898. In June, when the test was renewed, we began to
collect these samples once a week and continued until the close of the
experiments.

These samples were generally collected during the first test from a
quarter-inch petcock, tapped into the three-inch pipe, leading from Sett¬
ling Tank No. 3 to Filter Tank No. 5. During the second test, they
were collected from the surface of the water in the Filter Tank No. 5 ; with
the exception of the sample, dated August 8, 1898, which was collected
from the surface of Filter Tank No. 6.

EFFLUENTS—WORMS TILE FILTER.

Samples of the “ Effluents ” from the tiles were collected about
once a week during both tests. During the first period they were
collected from the effluent from Tile A, except upon April 4, 1898, when
the effluent from Tile R was sampled; both of these tiles were supplied
with chemically treated water. Also from Tiles D and E, which were
supplied with untreated water. During the second test all tiles were sup¬
plied with chemically treated water, and the samples were collected from
the effluent from Tile B; except upon June 13 and August 29, 1898, when
the effluents from Tiles A and E, respectively, were sampled. These
samples were collected, during the first test, and until July 12, 1898, during
the second test, from quarter-inch petcocks on the effluent pipes. After
the above date the effluent pipes had a free flow and samples were ob¬
tained from the outlets.

MONONGAHELA RIVER—AT INTAKE OF MONONGAHELA WATER COMPANY.

Samples were collected from the “Monongahela River” at this point,
about once a week during the months of June and July, t8q 7; then twice
a week, during the months of August to November, inclusive, 1897 i then
once a week, until March 14, 1898; and, finally, once in two weeks during
the remainder of the work.

The water supply, which is furnished to the South Side Wards, Nos.
24-36, inclusive, hy the Monongahela Water Company, is taken from
the Monongahela River opposite tile foot of Twenty-ninth Street.

In 1888, an intake was placed in the river, about 400 feet from the
south shore and connected to the pump well hy a 36-inch pipe. The
average daily consumption, in this portion of the city, as given hy the
Water Company for the year 1897, is estimated to he about 12,000,000
gallons per day.

These samples were collected sometimes from the river side of flat
boats, moored adjacent to the south hank, a little up stream from the
pump station; also, when a small boat could be secured, the samples were
collected farther out in the stream over the intake.

SOUTH SIDE TAP.

Samples of the “Tap Water’’ upon the South Side were collected,
whenever a river sample was obtained, until September I, iK<>8. The
water is pumped direct front the river to a reservoir upon the hill about
one-third of a mile away, of 5,000,000 gallons capacity. The reservoir
consists of two basins, one of which is used for settling, and, from the
other, the water is distributed over that portion of the city, south of the
Monongahela River. The samples were collected from a store upon
Carson Street, near 30th Street.

ALLEGHENY RIVER AT MONTROSE.

Samples were collected from the “Allegheny River,” at the Montrose
Pumping Station of the Allegheny City Water Works, four miles above
Brilliant, about once a week during the months of June, July and August,
1897. After this time, until December, 1897, the river at Hulton (see page
285) was taken as fairly representative of the river at Montrose. It was
then found that the analyses of these river samples differed but very little
from those collected at Brilliant and, throughout the remainder of the
work, the samples collected at the latter place were taken as fairly repre¬
senting the conditions at Montrose, Hulton and Wildwood.

A portion of the water supply for the city of Allegheny has been
obtained from the river at Montrose since April, 1897. At first about
one-third of the water used was pumped from here and the remainder
from the city pumping station near Herr’s Island. At the close of our
work, almost all of the water was pumped from Montrose, being about
30,000,000 gallons per day; occasionally, however, about 5,000,000 was
pumped from the lower station.

The water is obtained from a crib in the river, which is connected
by four 36-inch pipes with the pump well. This crib is about 2,500 feet
long, 32 feet wide, and 7 feet deep, and was built of 6-inch x 8-inch
hemlock timber, laid flat. The timbers are separated by blocks, four
inches thick, spaced about three feet apart. . The crib is tightly planked
over on top with three-inch planks, but the sides, ends, and bottom are
open. In placing the crib, an excavation, somewhat larger than the area
of the structure, was made and the crib floated over and sunk into place

by loading with large stones. Stones were then placed around the sides
and upon the top; and covered with layers of coarse gravel, with sand
upon top. The average depth of gravel and sand on the crib is five feet.
The depth of water over the crib at low water is 16 feet at the upper end
and io feet at the lower end. The center linc'of the crib is 300 feet
from the river wall of the pumping station. Upon two occasions it was
thought that some of the sand and gravel had been washed away and
a considerable amount of new material was dumped in place. The sam¬
ples were collected over the crib from the ferry boat which crosses the
river between Montrose and Verona.

ALLEGHENY CITY TAP.

Samples were collected of the “Tap Water” in the city of Allegheny
once a week from the beginning of the work until December I, 1897, and
then once in two weeks for the remaining time.

The water from Montrose is pumped to a reservoir in the city, of
7,000,000 gallons capacity, and there mingles with the water pumped-
from the city station. From this reservoir the water is distributed over

RKSUI/TH ON ANALYNKN.

m

the city, but a change is now being made so that water from Montrose
may be distributed direct to the city without going to the reservoir.

These samples were collected in a store upon Federal Street, near
the railroad station.

AM.KOHENY RIVF.K AT IIUI.TON.

Samples were collected from the “Allegheny River at Holton," about
six miles above Brilliant, once a week during the months of August to
November, inclusive, 1897. After this time the samples collected
from the river at Brilliant may be taken as fairly representing the river
at Hulton.

The water supply, furnished by the Suburban Water Company to
Oakmont and Verona, is derived from the river at this point. The pump-
age is given as about 300,000 gallons daily. The water is obtained from
a crib, situated in the river and about 260 feet from the pumping station,
to which it is connected by a 12-inch pipe. The crib was built in 1894,
of 2-inch x 4-inch hemlock, in a crate style something like the Montrose

286 . appendix no. 2.

Crib, but is open on top. It is 96 feet long, 16 feet wide, and 4 feet deep,
It is covered with large stones, gravel and sand, about 4^ feet deep. The
average depth of water at low water is about seven feet. The samples
were collected from the bank in the current and near the station.

VERONA TAP.

Samples of the “Tap Water” supplied in Verona were collected once
a week, during the months of August to November, inclusive, 1897, then
once in two weeks to May 1, 1898, and thereafter once a week, until
the close of the experiments. The water supply is pumped a distance of
about three miles to the village, and into the distributing system; the
surplus passing into a reservoir of 1,500,000 gallons capacity. The sam¬
ples were collected from a tap near the railroad station.

ALLEGHENY RIVER AT WILDWOOD.

Samples were collected of the “Allegheny River at Wildwood,” about
one and one-half miles above Brilliant, once a week from the last of
June to the last of October, 1897, and once in November, 1897. After this
the samples collected at Brilliant may be taken as representing the river
at Wildwood.

The water supply of Wilkinsburg, some neighboring towns, and of
the 37th Ward of Pittsburgh, is furnished by the Pennsylvania Water
Company. The water is obtained from the Allegheny River at Wild¬
wood and, since June, 1897, from a crib situated in the middle of the
river. This crib is connected, by a 24-inch pipe in the bed of the
river, with a tunnel on the shore, reaching from the low water mark to
the pump well. The crib is 304 feet long, 32 feet wide, and 4 feet deep, and
is built of 2-inch x 8-inch planks, with two-inch open spaces on the top
and sides, and nothing on the bottom. The bed of the stream was dredged
and the crib floated out and sunk. Upon the crib and all around it there
was placed one foot of large stones, then one foot of coarse gravel, and
then three feet of river sand.

It is said, that underneath the crib there is thirty feet of gravel in
the bed of the stream. The average daily punrpage is about 1,500,000
gallons. These samples were collected from a boat over the crib.

EFFLUENT—WILDWOOD CR1H.

Samples were collected from the water which had passed through
this crib, about once a week during the work, except in March and April,
1898, when the pump was not running in the day time and it was incon¬
venient to secure samples. These samples were collected from a tap upon
a three-quarter-inch pipe, which was connected with the force main just
outside the pumping station.

WILKINSBURG TAP.

Samples of the “Tap Water” in Wilkinsburg were collected once a
week during the months of September, October and November, 1897,
and then about once a month until the close of the experiments. The
water supply is pumped from Wildwood to an open reservoir of 6,000,000
gallons capacity, about one mile distant from the river. From this basin
it is distributed throughout the service system. The samples were col¬
lected from a tap near the corner of Wood Street and Penn Avenue.

EKKM1ENT—SHARPSBURG CRIB.

Samples were collected of the water after passing through this crib,
once a week in May, 1898, and once in two weeks during the months of
June, July, and August, 1898. The water supply for Sharpsburg is de¬
rived from the Allegheny River, about one mile below Brilliant on the
opposite side. Since 1893, a crib, too feet long, 8 feet wide, and 5 feet
deep, has been in use; which is connected with the pump well by an
18-inch pipe, 800 feet long. The crib has about two and one-half feet
of river material over it, but is made tight down two and one-half feet;
the remainder of the sides and the bottom being open. The width of tim¬
bers and of openings is six inches. Low water mark is about three feet
above the top of the crib. The water is delivered directly into the piping
system from the pumps. The samples were collected from a tap upon
the pumps.

ALLEGHENY RIVER AT ETNA.

Samples were collected of the “Allegheny River at Etna,” two miles
below Brilliant upon the opposite side, once a week during the months
of August to November, inclusive, 1897; then once in two weeks for the
next three months, and occasionally during the remaining time.

The water supply of Etna is derived from the river at this point and,
since January, 1898, from a crib situated in the river, and connected with
the pumps by a 12-inch suction pipe. The crib is a wooden box, 40 feet
long, 16 feet wide, and 4 feet deep, perforated with many openings. It
was sunk in place and covered with stone, river gravel, and sand, about
four feet deep. The average daily pumpage is about 350,000 gallons.
The samples were collected from lumber rafts moored to the shore.

ALLEGHENY RIVER AT MILLVALE.

t

Samples of the “Allegheny River at Millvale” were collected about
once a week, from the middle of August to the last of October, 1897 ,
and once in July, 1898. The supply of the borough of Millvale is ob¬
tained from the Allegheny River, about four miles below Brilliant upon
the opposite side, from two cribs, one owned by the borough and one by

APPENDIX NO. 2.

the Bennett Water Company. The latter is ioo feet long, 16 feet wide,
and 4 feet deep, and is built of 2-inch x 4-inch lumber in the usual crate
style, and covered with stone, gravel, and sand. The crib is placed in the
stream, where the current is swift, and the filling has been frequently
washed away, necessitating frequent repairs. The average daily pump-
age is given as about 550,000 gallons. Samples were obtained to deter¬
mine the efficiency of this crib, only. The river samples were collected
from the bank near the pumping station, in the current of the river.

OHIO RIVER AT SEWICKLEY.

Samples were collected of the “Ohio River at Sewickley,” three times
in the latter part of 1897 and once in June, 1898.

The water supply of Sewickley is derived, during a portion of the year,
when the water-shed will not furnish sufficient water, from cribs in the
Ohio River near Osborne Station. There are two cribs, one built in 1893,
which is 32 feet long and 16 feet wide, and another, built in 1894, which
is 80 feet long and 16 feet wide. Both are of the usual crate construction
with stone, gravel, and sand above and around them. The samples were
collected out over the crib from a boat.

TAP IN DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY BUILDING,

BEFORE FILTRATION.

Samples were collected from a tap in this building, once a week
from September to the last of November, 1897, and once during the
months of December, 1897, and January and March, 1898. The water
supply for the building is passed through a pressure filter, in which sul¬
phate of alumina is added. These samples were collected from a special
tap delivering water which had not passed through the filter.

Fifteen Samples of Pittsburgh City Water,

BY

EUGENE WASDIN, M. D.

Past Assistant Surgeon, United States Marine Hospital Service.

APPENDIX No. 3.

APPENDIX No. 3.

Mr. Morris Knowi.es,

Resident Engineer,

Pittsburgh Filtration Commission.

Sir :—

I beg to report that acting in deference to the wishes of Chancellor
W. J. Holland, Chairman of the Committee on Water Analysis, I started,
on the 19th of March last, to analyze samples of the water supplied to
the city, for the purpose of isolating any bacteria that might be injurious
to health; or which would tend, by their presence in this water, to’show
that the city water supply is much polluted, and that upon this pollution
depends much of the prevailing typhoid fever.

By courtesy I have worked in the bacteriological laboratory of the
Bureau of Health, and wish to express my gratification and thanks for
the many and graceful courtesies received at the hands of those officials
with whom I have been thrown.

Of the fifteen samples analyzed, three, Nos. 7,8, and 9, were especially
examined with the object of isolating the bacillus of typhoid fever.
Measured portions of these samples were seeded on Eisner's gelatine, a
medium vaunted to eliminate all bacterial growths save that of the
Bacillus typhi abdominalis and Bacillus coli communis. Although a large
number of organisms were studied carefully, none reacted to the Widal-
Pfeififer blood test as does the Bacillus t)phi, although in other character¬
istics they were closely allied to these organisms. Also portions of other
samples were grown on Parietti bouillon, a very acid carbolized medium,
and these growths were examined culturally and under the microscope,
but the Bacillus typhi abdominalis was not found. One element of
trouble has been caused by having the gelatine melt during the warm
weather. •

In making analyses of the other twelve samples, I have followed
the well-known method of Theobald Smith, modified by the method of
Hazen and White, i. e., a measured portion is planted on sugar bouillon
and submitted to an incubator temperature of 4i°C. to 42°C. for from
24 to 48 hours. It is known that at this temperature, many of the com¬
mon water bacteria are destroyed, and that the intestinal forms survive.
These intestinal (suspicious) organisms, ingrowing, disintegrate the sugar
in the bouillon, and the liquid is said to ferment. The gas from this fer¬
mentation collects in the appropriate portion of the testing tube, and is
itself studied. Usually, the fermentation of the sugar bouillon gives rise

328

APPENDIX NO.

to carbon dioxide (CO z ) and hydrogen gas (II), so the gas formulae show
only the relative amounts of C 0 2 and II. Theobald Smith says that if
water analyzed in this way ferments the bouillon, and especially if there
is free evolution of gas, we may suspect that the water is contaminated
hy sewage. In fact he declares that, when the species which develop in
fermentation solutions, seeded with such water, are transplanted to differ¬
ent media and studied, it is unusual to find bacteria other than the Bacillus
coli communis, Bacillus entcritidis. Bacillus lactis (erogencs, and possibly
Bacillus typhi abdominalis. I do not believe that the last named organism
will be isolated in this way, save in a rare instance when it alone is present
in the sample seeded. In all, ninety-three different organisms have been
isolated and studied, both culturally and microscopically. Of these, fifty-
three correspond to the organisms of the colon groups, one being Bacillus
entcritidis and four Bacillus lactis cerogenes. Several were like typhoid,
one especially, but did not react with typhoid blood. Thirty-eight were
of the proteus groups, the ordinary organisms of putrefaction. The re¬
mainder were of little interest.

The significance of these two groups is evident. A water contamin¬
ated with those of the colon groups must be considered unfit to drink ; for
the probable presence of the typhoid germ, if there arise an epidemic of
typhoid fever on the water-shed, is evident. The presence of the proteus
organism in such quantity indicates much waste albuminoid material sup¬
plying their food; at the same time disease may arise from their presence
in the body.

In conclusion, I find every sample of water contaminated and giving
rise to fermentation. From all but three samples fermentation germs
were isolated. In these three it is hard to explain why the ferment was
not found. However, it is well-known that many organisms growing
together give rise to peculiar conditions not found in any single growth,
a peculiarity of symbiosis not readily explained.

Appended,* there is a tabulation of the work and results secured in
the analysis of each of the fifteen samples of water examined. The source
of each sample is shown, also the time of its collection; together with the
result of seeding it upon Wurtz litmus agar and upon lactose and glucose
bouillon, all of which were maintained at incubator temperature of 40°C.
to 4i°C. The Wurtz agar plates gave evidence of the growth of organisms
at this high temperature, with or without the formation of an acid. The
sugar bouillon, in fermentation tubes, gave evidence of their power to
disintegrate, or ferment sugars. The results of these tests are characteris¬
tic 6f those organisms usually found in waters, contaminated with human
or animal excretions, and they are used to determine the fitness of
waters for domestic use. The table also shows briefly the more marked

cultural and physiological characteristics of the organisms which were
selected from each fermentation tube. These special organisms, the study
of which has only been sufficient to appropriately group them, were chosen
as representing most clearly those, whose presence indicate faecal con¬
tamination.

Bacteriological and Microscopical
Investigations,

WM. R. COPELAND,

HACTER 101.001ST.

APUENOIX No. 4 -

.APPENDIX No. 4.

Mr. Morris Knowles,

Resident Engineer,

IHttsburgh Filtration Commission .

Sir

I beg to submit the following report on the bacteriological and mi¬
croscopical investigations made in connection with the experiments con¬
ducted by the Filtration Commission. The numbers of bacteria, which
were found in the effluents from the various filters and in samples from
other sources, have been reported to you from time to time.

The work consisted principally of the determination of the number
of bacteria in samples of Allegheny River water, collected before and after
filtration. During part of July and the month of August, 1897, samples
were collected daily; and from September, 1897, to February, 1898, sam¬
ples were collected at least twice a day. After February, 1898, samples
were collected several times each day. Samples were also collected sev¬
eral times each month from the water supplies of Pittsburgh and vicinity.

Two other branches of work which were pursued as time allowed were
devoted to the isolation of species of bacteria, and to the determination
of the species and numbers of micro-organisms* in waters collected from
the sources described in the preceding paragraph.

The following report, therefore, has been divided into three parts.
The first division describes the methods which were used to determine
the numbers of bacteria in the waters examined; the second, methods
used to isolate species of bacteria; the third, the method used in counting
and enumerating the number of micro-organisms found. Table I, in
Part II, Contains a list of the species of bacteria found, and the tables
appended to Part III contain lists of the micro-organisms.

From July 1 to August 23, 1897, the bacteriological work was per¬
formed in the laboratory of the Bureau of Health, Department of Public
Safety. After August 23, the work was done in a small laboratory near
the filter plant at Brilliant. A portion of the time of the laboratory force
was devoted to collecting samples from various points on the Allegheny
River, to recording gage readings, to making out record sheets of the
operations of filters, and to general supervision of the operations of the
experimental filter plant.

* The term micro-organisms, as used in this report, includes the minute forms of aqua¬
tic life, excepting bacteria, which must be studied by means of the microscope.

APPENDIX NO. 4,—REPORT OK BAUTKKIOI/OUIHT.

PART I.

Methods Employed to Determine the Numbers of Bacteria in Water.

The numbers of bacteria contained in waters were determined by
“Koch’s Plate Culture” method. The glassware employed in these de¬
terminations was boiled in a strong solution of bichromate of potash and
sulphuric acid. All traces of the latter were removed, before the articles
were used, by washing them in filtered water until the rinse water gave
a neutral reaction with methyl orange. Glassware was sterilized by heat¬
ing it for two hours in a dry sterilizer at 200°C.

The media used in making plate cultures were nutrient gelatine, nu¬
trient glycerine agar, and nutrient litmus lactose agar. The gelatine
manufactured by Comte Fils of Magdebourg, and labeled premiere
qualite, was employed because it had been adopted in other laboratories
where special attention is given to the bacteriology of water. Thread
agar, free from acid, and double distilled glycerine were used to make
nutrient agar. Lactose agar was prepared by adding two per cent, of
powdered crystalline lactose to nutrient glycerine agar neutral to phenol-
phthalein; four drops of sterile aqueous solution of blue litmus were added
to the lactose agar just before plating. The meat infusion used in media
was prepared by soaking one part of finely chopped lean beef in two
parts of distilled water for twenty hours at a temperature of io°C. Litmus
has been employed extensively, in other laboratories, as an indicator in
titrating nutrient gelatine. Mr. Geo. W. Fuller, 1 however, has pointed
out that phenolphthalein is more sensitive than litmus to weak organic
acids. Phenolphthalein was used, therefore, in titrating nutrient media.
Sodium hydrate was used to neutralize media. When hydrochloric acid
is added to nutrient media containing an excess of sodium hydrate, salt
is formed. It is pointed out in another article, 1 in the Journal to which
reference has just been made, that salt is unfavorable for the development
of bacteria in media. In order to avoid the formation of salt, sulphuric
acid was used instead of hydrochloric to acidify nutrient media. Twen¬
tieth normal solutions of sodium hydrate and sulphuric acid were used in
making titrations. Five cubic centimeters of media, diluted with 50 cubic
centimeters of distilled water, were boiled for two minutes in a white
porcelain dish and the titrations made while the mixture was hot.

The question of reaction of nutrient media is taken up more at
length on page 339 of this report. Nutrient gelatine and agar were

sterilized for five minutes in an autoclave at a pressure of 15 pounds. Lac¬
tose agar was sterilized for 25 to 30 minutes in an Arnold steam sterilizer
on each of three consecutive days. All kinds of media were rc-stcrilizcd
for ten minutes in boiling water, or in an autoclave for one minute at 15
pounds pressure before plating. For further particulars in regard to the
method of preparing nutrient media, the reader is referred to the Twenty-
Seventh Annual Report of the Massachusetts State Board of Health.*

PLATING.

This process used in making cultures of samples of water'in petri
dishes is known as plating. The dishes used in plating varied somewhat
in size. An average dish measured, inside, three and one-half inches in
diameter and one-half an inch in depth. The numbers of bacteria in the
waters analyzed ranged from many thousands in samples collected from
the Allegheny River, to a few cells in the filtered water. Therefore, in
order to give each colony ample food material for development, waters
which contained more than three or four hundred bacteria per cubic
centimeter were generally diluted with known volumes of sterile water
before plating. This practice was followed in examining waters which
contained large numbers of bacteria, except in a few cases when dealing
with samples from new sources or collected for the purpose of illustrat¬
ing some special point. Waters which contained from 5,000 to 10,000
or more bacteria per cubic centimeter were diluted one part in fifty;
samples, containing from 2,000 to 5,000 per cubic centimeter, were diluted
one part in twenty-five of sterile water.*

After plating the samples of water, the petri dishes were set in an ice
chest, to allow the nutrient media to harden; and several hours later they
were transferred to a thermostat. The plates were examined daily; and
as soon as colonies had developed on a given plate to such a size that
they threatened to destroy their neighbors, the number of colonies was
counted, using a hand lens. Plates containing many liquefied colonics
were placed in the ice chest after counting. The plates could generally
be kept there for a day or two longer, because the low temperature
checked the rapid development of liquefying forms. During these extra
days, slow growing species had time to. develop. The whole number of
colonies finally counted contained, therefore, a greater proportion of the
actual number of colonies on the plate than would have been obtained
by keeping the plates at the warmer temperature of the thermostat, where
the liquefying forms would have developed until they had turned the
whole mass of nutrient media into water.

TEMPERATURE.

One of the most perplexing problems encountered in the whole
process of plate culture came from changes in temperature at different
seasons of the year. The mercury often rose to 36°C. in the laboratory in
summer and, in winter, it sometimes dropped to I5°C. on cold nights.
The average daily temperatures in the thermostat, are given by months,

The figures given in the preceding table show that the average tem¬
perature varied considerably from day to day; the variations between the
maximum and minimum often amounting to several degrees. The table
also indicates that, in general, the temperatures were several degrees
higher during the summer and autumn of 1897, than during the cor¬
responding months of 1898. These conditions were due to the following
causes:—

The temperatures were high in the summer of 1897 because they
were governed wholly by the temperature of the laboratory which was
about the same as that of the outside air.

After October a pipe leading from the water main was connected
with the thermostat, for the purpose of keeping a constant current of cold
water in circulation between the walls. Beside this device, a glass tube,
holding a column of mercury, was hung in the water between the walls.

*For a list of daily temperatures, see Table F at the end of Part 1, Page 342.

TKMPKHATUKK.

By expanding and contracting, tlic mercury decreased or increased the
stream of gas which supplied a lighted Bunsen burner placed beneath the
bottom. Theoretically, therefore, the temperature of the current of water
circulating through the walls should have kept the column of mercury
expanded to such a point that the flame of gas would supply just enough
heat to maintain the temperature of the inner chamber of the thermostat
at a given degree. Unfortunately, however, the river water often carried
quantities of mud in suspension. This mud settled in the valves and
stopped the current of water from circulating. Meantime, the gas flame
beneath the thermostat continued to heat the water between the walls.
This flame soon raised the temperature within the thermostat several
degrees. Under such a condition the column of mercury expanded to a
point where it cut off the supply of gas almost entirely. The flame then
dropped to such a small jet that a slight current of air would blow it out.
On the other hand, changes in the water pressure often increased the
current of water in circulation. At such times a cold stream poured
into the thermostat. If the gas flame had blown out and if no watchman
was near to relight it, the temperature of the thermostat dropped several
degrees. These conditions were modified in the spring of 1898, by having
one of the assistant filter attendants read the temperatures frequently at
night and adjust the flowing water. The preceding table shows the ad¬
vantage of this supervision, as the difference between the maximum and
minimum temperatures decreased noticeably in April and in May. Dur¬
ing the summer weather the river water in the main became warm and
the temperature often rose to 25°C. This was so high that the water
could not be used to regulate the temperature of the thermostat. The
effect of warm weather was lessened in the summer of 1898, by placing
gelatine plates in a barrel sunk deep in a bank of earth and protected by
doors from the heat of the sun. The preceding table shows that this
simple device maintained a fairly uniform temperature during the summer
of 1898.

Nutrient gelatine melted during July and August, 1897, when allowed
to stand for a few hours at the high temperature of the laboratory. Com¬
parisons made by plating duplicate samples of water on gelatine and agar,
in warm weather, showed that when gelatine plates liquefied the numbers
of colonies ran higher on nutrient glycerine agar than on gelatine. As
these results corroborated the experience encountered at Lawrence and
in other laboratories where glycerine agar has been used extensively, all
samples were plated on glycerine agar during August and September,
1897. Nutrient gelatine, however, is used more extensively than agar
in making examinations of water. As soon, therefore, as cooler weather
returned in the fall, the samples were plated on gelatine instead of agar,
and this practice was continued until the end of the work.

APPENDIX NO. 4,—REPORT OK BACTERIOMXilST.

Number of Days During Which Plates Were Allowed to Develop.

Variations in temperature made it desirable to allow plates to develop
for different periods at different seasons of the year. The high tempera¬
ture in the summer of 1897 was favorable for a rapid development of
bacteria; during this period, the plates were kept from two to three days.
When cooler weather began in the fall and the temperature of the
thermostat dropped from 23 0 or 24° to 2i°C. the colonies of bacteria de¬
veloped more slowly. Under this condition, the plates were kept from
three to four days. As a result of allowing plates to develop for one day
longer the number of colonies increased as shown in the following table:—

This table shows that the number of colonies increased gradually
from the third to the fourth day. After October 5, 1897, therefore, all
plates were kept for four days, but when plates were kept for more than
four days at this temperature, the bacteria liquefied the nutrient gelatine.

On November 11, and December 18, 1897, the temperature of the
thermostat rose to 25°C. for reasons described on page 337/ and in con¬
sequence the nutrient gelatine in the plates melted. In order to prevent
a recurrence of such a disastrous increase, the temperature of the ther¬
mostat was reduced to i8°C. on December 24, 1897. The reason for
making the change was, that, even when the temperature rose three or
four degrees, it only ran up to 22°C. instead of to 24°C.; nutrient gelatine,
which melted at the latter temperature, remained solid at 22°C.

When the plates were kept at i8°C. the colonies developed slowly.

Under such conditions the number of colonies increased for five or six

days. This point is illustrated in the following table, which gives, for
each sample, the numbers of colonies counted upon the plates for suc¬
cessive days:—

The table shows, as a whole, that, after the plates had been kept for
four clays in the thermostat and then transferred to the ice chest, the num¬
ber of colonies counted increased from the fifth to the sixth day. A few
plates were kept more than six days, but the liquefying colonics usually
developed to such a degree that the number of colonies which could be
counted decreased when the plates were kept for a longer period.

REACTION OF MEDIA.

The reaction of a nutrient medium exercises an important influence
over the colonies which develop in the medium in which samples of water
are plated. If the medium is either too acid or too alkaline, certain
species of bacteria will not multiply rapidly, and the number of colonies
which are found at the end of a few days will, therefore, be too low. For
many years media which were neutral to litmus were used to determine
the number of bacteria in water. The neutral point of litmus has a
degree of reaction which is described by Mr. George W. Fuller* as about
* 27th Annual Report, Massachusetts State Board of Health, 1895, p. 165.

341)

APPENDIX NO. 4,—REPORT OF BACTEKIOMKilKT.

1.3 per cent, acid, on a scale established in titrating organic compounds
with phenolphthalein as an indicator. This writer recommended that
media should be made more acid than this, or about 1.5 per cent, acid to
phenol. The article cited states, in another paragraph, “The evidence at
hand shows that the degree of reaction which is most favorable for # bac¬
terial growth varies somewhat with different species of bacteria, and per¬
haps with seasons of the year.”

As suggested by this opinion, samples of water from different sources
were plated from time to time in media having different degrees of
reaction. The results obtained are given in the following table:—

This table shows that the most favorable degree of reaction varied
somewhat at different seasons of the year.

Guided by the results obtained with the samples of filtered water the
reaction of nutrient media was changed in October, 1897, from 1.5 to 1.0
percent.; in November, 1897, from 1.0100.7 P cr cent.; in December, 1897.
from 0.7 to 1.0 per cent.; and in March, 1898, from 1.0 to 1.3 per cent.

This table gives the averages of all the comparisons made during the
year. It shows that the most favorable reaction lay between 1.5 and 1.0
per cent. The figures obtained up to March T, 1898, seemed to point to
this fact, and after March 1, 1898, all media used for the regular analyses
were made with a reaction of 1.3 per cent. A further reason for selecting
that special degree lay in the fact that, during the process of sterilizing,
the acidity of the media often increased 0.1 Or 0.2 per cent. Thus the,
reaction of the media, at time of plating, approached, but did not exceed
1.5 per cent.

PART II.

Species ok Bacteria.

The second part of this Report contains a brief account of the “Spe¬
cies of Bacteria” which were found during October and November, 1897,
in the Allegheny River water, before and after filtration; and of those
species which were found in greatest numbers in the water supply of Pitts¬
burgh during August and September, 1898. In addition to these studies,
a short description is given of tests made for the Bacillus coli communis■

There are several facts which must be borne in mind in connection
with the study of bacteria. In the first place, these small organisms are
living plants; they are so minute that they cannot be identified by their
form alone; and, therefore, must be studied under artificial cultivation.
The characteristics of species may be made stronger, or they may be
modified, by changes in the conditions which surround them. And, fin¬
ally, bacteriologists have not yet united upon a series of tests which they
consider to be sufficiently complete to form a standard method for identi¬
fying species of bacteria.

In carrying out the work described in the following pages, the meth¬
ods were selected from the list described as “Necessary Information
Tests” in the “Report of American Bacteriologists” to the “Committee
on the Pollution of Water Supplies” of the “American Public Health
Association.*

In order to secure suitable material for a study of species of bacteria,
pure cultures were made from the clearly defined colonies which de¬
veloped in nutrient gelatine, seeded with samples of water collected from
the sources described on page 346. These cultures were transferred
afterward to various media and the reactions which they produced were
used to identify the forms.

SPECIES OF BACTERIA FOUND IN THE ALLEGHENY RIVER WATER.

BEFORE AND AFTER FILTRATION.

The bacterial efficiency of Filters Nos. 1 and 2 was high during
October, 1897. The reason for this was that the number of bacteria was
large in the river, and was small in the effluent. During the latter part
of November, 1897, the bacterial efficiency decreased. Three or four
species of bacteria were often found during these two periods. The
names of the species and the number of colonies belonging to each,
which were found in a cubic centimeter of the raw and filtered water at
the time, are given in the following table:—

This table shows that the species which were most common in the
river were found in the effluent, both in October and in November. The
point of special interest, however, is that the species occurred in very
much greater numbers in the effluent in November than in October.

APPLICATION OP HACILLUS PRODIGIOSUS.

The number of bacteria continued to be high during December and
January following. In order to determine whether these high numbers
were due to the presence of bacteria which found their way to the tinder-
drains between the sand and the concrete walls of the filter, pure cultures
of the Bacillus prodigiosus were mixed with the raw water and applied
to the surface of Filter No. 2. The method used in applying these bacteria
was as follows. Gallon bottles, containing a sterile solution of one-tenth
of a per cent, of peptone and two-tentbs of a per cent, of glucose in dis¬
tilled water, were inoculated with a pure culture of the I!, prodigiosus.
The bottles were place in a thermostat at a temperature of about 18 C..
and allowed to incubate for four days. Portions of this mixture were
scattered over the surface of the water on the filter every half hour for ten
hours, beginning at 9.00 A. M., January 28, and again at 9.00 A. M . Jan
uary 29, 1898. The number of cells of B. prodigiosus was determined in
each cubic centimeter of the mixture, and the number of cells of 1!
prodigiosus applied was estimated to be about 3,600 per cubic centimeter
of water filtered on January 28, and 9,000 per cubic centimeter on Jan¬
uary 29. ,

* A detailed description of the causes of the high numbers in the effluent, at thii- time,
will be found on Page 120 of the Resident Engineer’s Report.

Seven samples of effluent were collected during each period of ten
hours; and the records in the preceding table show that very few cells
of B. prodigiosus were found in these samples. They occurred more
frequently in samples collected after the ten hours had passed than during
the period of application. This fact goes to prove that the cells of B.
prodigiosus did not pass readily from the surface to the underdrains.
Data, obtained from experiments made at Lawrence, Mass., indicate
that cells of B. prodigiosus may pass through a sand filter in small num¬
bers. The presence, therefore, of the few cells which appeared in the
effluent from Filter No. 2, after the application was concluded, did not
prove ihat channels had been formed between the bed of sand and
concrete walls of the filter.

SPECIES OF BACTERIA FOUND IN SAMPLES OF ALLEGHENY RIVER WATER,
COLLECTED FROM THE GATE CHAMBER AND FROM RESERVOIRS
AND TAPS IN PITTSBURGH.

Eight sets of samples were collected from the gate chamber, from
each of three reservoirs, and from taps in residences near the reservoirs.
One set of samples was also collected from a tap in the heart of the

Hl'Kl'IKH <»' II.UTKIUA.

Ml

city. Wlien these waters were plated in nutrient gelatin*- many colonics of
bacteria developed which had characteristic forms. Other colonics could
not be distinguished so easily. In selecting materia! from which to take
cultures for special study, colonies were chosen which represented the
different kinds on each plate. As soon as pure cultures had been obtained
of these forms, they were compared, one with another, by making cultures
in nutrient gelatine contained in plates and test tubes. I!y this method
many duplicates were detected. For the purpose of final study, cultures
were selected, some of which were representative of the duplicate forms,
and others of forms having special characteristics.

The organisms used in making the tests were taken from cultures
which had been grown for 48 hours on nutrient glycerine agar (reaction
1.5 per cent.). In order to prepare these stock cultures, the organism:
in the original samples were transferred to gelatine plates; and from
the plates pure cultures were transferred to tubes of gelatine. From these
tubes they were transferred to bouillon (reaction 1.5 per cent.), then from
the first tube of bouillon to a second, and, finally, from the second to
the surface of nutrient glycerine agar. During each of these stages the
organisms were allowed to develop for 48 hours at i8°C., before thev
were transferred to a new medium.

A list of the species which were found in water taken from taps in
Pittsburgh, and which gave the most characteristic reactions, arc pre¬
sented, together with the results of the tests, in Table I.* The reactions
which are recorded in this table were obtained by allowing the cultures
to develop for ten days at from 17 0 to 1 <fC.

The thermal death point was found bv inoculating each of five
tubes, containing 10 c. c. nutrient broth (reaction 1.5 per rent, acid),
three times with a platinum wire loop filled with a drop of bouillon con
taining a pure culture of a given species. One of these tubes was placed
in a water bath (deptli of water about three inches), having a temperature
of 5o°C.; other tubes were placed in baths at temperature' of 53®, 56®,
and 59°C. The tubes were kept in the baths for ten minutes. They
were watched carefully and the temperatures maintained exactly at the
specified point. After they had been taken out from the bath, they were
placed in ice water until cold, and then set in an incubator at about 18 C.
The thermal death point is given, as lying between the |<oint when a
growth was found and the point where the tubes were sterile. All cul¬
tures were examined at the end of ten days.

The results obtained in the tests are recorded cither as positive
or negative. Reactions which were well defined arc recorded by a plus
sign, ( +). I11 cases where no reaction was found or where they were

ill defined at the end of ten days they are recorded by a zero, (o,.

In making the diagnoses of the various organisms, they were not
tested for pathogenic properties. The time at the disjiosal of the Com¬
mission was too limited to make such tests complete.

Tt'Sfs for the Bacillus Coli Communis.

During the months of July and August, 1897, several eases of typhoid
fever developed in the 21st Ward of Pittsburgh, and in one of the neigl>or-
ing towns. Samples were collected from certain taps, springs or wells,
and milk used by the families where the fever prevailed. The number of
bacteria in the samples was determined; and further tests of the water
and milk were made by plating them on Wurtz litmus lactose agar.
These agar plates were allowed to develop for 14 hours in a thermostat,
at a temperature of 38°C. or 39°C.

Under such conditions the Bacillus coli communis should pro¬
duce bright red colonics. Cultures were taken, therefore, from the
colonies on these plates which possessed the characteristic form of colonies
of the B. coli communis and were transplanted into tubes of milk, nitrate,
indol, and fermentation solution, also as stab cultures in tubes of nutrient
gelatine.

Cultures which gave reactions in these media characteristic of colt
were considered to belong to the colon group and to be indicative of
fecal contamination. Similar tests were made upon samples of water
collected from the Allegheny and Monongahcla Rivers and from reser¬
voirs and taps in different parts of the city. The results of these tests
showed that bacteria which belonged to the colon group were present
in samples collected from all of these localities, in numbers ranging from
one to six per cubic centimeter at different seasons of the year.

Before closing this part of the report attention should be called to
the difficulties encountered in carrying out the work of isolating species
of bacteria. As bacteria arc living organisms, they have periods of
growth and decay. In order to secure the reactions which are characteris¬
tic of a given species, cultures must be obtained from a single cell. Other¬
wise the cultures may contain more than a single species. The vitality
of the original cell may be effected very decidedly by the composition
of the media in which the organism is growing, and by the length of
time during which the organism has been under cultivation. By slight
differences in composition of the food material, cultures may be made
to produce reactions which differ in degree of intensity. It is also true
that the different varieties of a given species produce reactions which
differ in their degree of intensity. When the cultures produce such varia¬
tions, the student’s only resource is to make tests of duplicate cultures,
taking care to keep all conditions parallel. These tests must proceed
slowly and be repeated several times. Such comparisons have been
carried out in the work described above as far as time would allow.

PART HI.

MlCftO-OHtiANISMS.

The following |x>rtioi! of the report contains the records of the
work performed in identifying the species and in counting the numliers
of micro-organisms found in samples of water collected from the Alle¬
gheny River, from the gate chamber, from the effluents of the filters, and
from the reservoirs in Pittsburgh and in Wilkinshurg.

The samples were collected in clean glass bottles having a capacity
of one liter. The bottles were plunged a few inches below the surface,
filled with water, corked, and carried to the laboratory at once. The
samples were examined by the Sedgwick-Raftcr method. Filter funnels
used in filtering the waters were of the improved type recommended by
D. D. Jackson.* When microscopical examinations are being made of
surface waters, 250 c. c. arc usually taken from each sample for analysis.
As this quantity seemed to be small, 500 c. c. were generally filtered
instead. Occasionally, however, some of the waters were very muddy.
At such times the material gathered by filtering 500 c. c. would have
contained a large amount of clay. This sediment would have interfered
with the process of counting the micro-organisms. In order to avoid
this complication 250 c. c. of muddy water were taken for analysis.

The micro-organisms, found in the waters examined, varied in species
and in mi ml tors at different seasons. Filamentous Algae were never found
in any considerable number in the samples of water collected,,but they
gathered occasionally in quantities on the masonry walls of the gate
chamber. In the autumn of 1897, masses of Spirogyra. Oscitiaria, and
Ulothrix collected there in mats. In April, 1898, Spirogyra, Ulotbrix,
and Stigcoelonium l>egan to develop in thick masses on the walls; by the
latter part of May, 1898, these algae had disappeared almost entirely.
During the first week in June a species of Conferva developed luxuriantly.
Heavy tains which fell on June 9 and 13, made the river water extremely
muddy; and by June t6, 1898, the masses of Conferva had disappeared
During July, 1898, thin, but widely spread mats of an alga resembling
Lyngbya |>apyrina developed on the walls of the gate chamber, anti
appeared in a few patches on ^ surface of the sand filters. In August.
1898, Spirogyra collected agairHn streamers in the gate chamber. After
a period, during which the river was dearer than usual, little mats of
Spirogyra were found on the surface of the sand when the water was
drawn off from Filters Nos. 1 and 2 in order to scrape. The other filter
plants were under a roof, and algae did not appear at any time, either in
the settling basins, or on the wooden walls of the filters, or on the sur*

faces of the sand. During summer weather masses of mold, however,
developed in the coagulant tubs both of the Warren and Jewell Kilters.

Among the other forms of microscopical life which were found,
Diatoms were common, and, occasionally, species of Protozoa. Cells of
Astcrionclla (variety gracillima) were found on several occasions in
samples collected from the gate chamber, Highland Reservoir and Bed¬
ford Basin; also, during August and September, 1898, in great numbers
in the Wilkinsburg Reservoir. During July, 1898, great numbers of
cells of Dinobryon (variety sertularia) appeared in the samples of water
collected in the Bedford Basin. The samples from this reservoir had
an odor, at that time, which resembled raw oysters.

Effluents from the sand filters and from the Warren and Jewell
Filters were examined several times. No organisms were found in the
filtered waters, except when the sand filters had just been scraped, and
when an unsufficient amount of coagulant was being applied to the me¬
chanical filters.

The remaining paragraphs contain short descriptions of the sources
from which the samples were collected.

Gate Chamber.

The samples taken from the “Gate Chamber’ were collected over the
inlet of the 6-inch main. These samples were considered to be repre¬
sentative of the Allegheny River, because the 6-inch pipe leading to the
filter plant branched from the rising mains, which passed directly from
the Pumping Station to the Highland Reservoir.

Settling Basin.

The samples collected as representing the settled water were collected
below the surface in a small well, through which this water passed just
before flowing on to the surface of the sand filters.

Effluents.

The "Effluents'’ were collected from taps placed in the outlet pipes,
as close to the filter basins as possible'.—

Highland Reservoir.

The samples marked “Highland Reservoir” were collected from two
points. Those samples, which are marked “Highland Avenue Main”
were drawn from the water just after leaving the reservoir on the way
to the main running down North Highland Avenue. The samples, which
are marked “Butler Street Main” were taken from a platform directly
over the point where this main leaves the Highland Reservoir.

MICHO-OIMMNIKMH.

:if)l

Herron Hill.

The samples marked “Herron Ilill” were collected from a platform
directly over the point where the water passes out from the reservoir to
the piping system. The water used in filling this basin is pumped from
a main leading from Highland Reservoir.

Bedford Basin.

The samples marked “Bedford Basin” were collected a few inches
under the surface near the place where the water leaves the basin on its
way to the service pipes. This reservoir is filled by pumping from the
same main as that from which water is'pumped to Herron Hill Reservoir.

South Side Resen<oir.

The samples marked “South Side Reservoir” were collected from a
platform over the outlet main. The water in this reservoir is pumped
directly from the Monongahela River.

Wilkinsburg Reservoir.

The samples marked “Wilkinsburg Reservoir” were collected a few
inches under the surface of the water near the bank of the basin. The
water in the reservoir is pumped from a crib which lies in the bottom of
the Allegheny River. Crenothrix and large numbers of Asterionella
were found on several occasions in this reservoir. The presence of these
organisms indicates that the basin probably receives considerable ground
water, at least at some seasons of the year.

Lists of all the organisms found, together with the dates and sources
from which the samples were collected, arc given in the following tables.

APPENDIX No. 5.

Report upon Driven Well Supply.

E. M. Bigelow, Esq.

Director of Department of Public Works.

Dear Sir:

In accordance with your instructions; in order to ascertain whether
it was possible to secure a supply of ground water at our Brilliant Pump¬
ing Station, in sufficient quantities and of proper quality for supplying
the city by means of driven wells, I beg to report that the contract
was let for driving a six-inch well, that is, five and five-eighths inches,
inside, and the work was commenced early in May. We located this
well at the south corner of the building, and about fifty feet from the
river’s edge. The accompanying blue print' will show you the character
of the materials through which the well went, and also the amount of
water secured at the different depths. You will notice by the accom¬
panying analyses 1 that the water in the sand stone was of a good quality,
and by reference to the blue print 1 you will find that the quantity was such
that it would take something like six hundred wells, to give us our present
supply of water, assuming that they would all have the same flow as this
one well, which is very doubtful. Although, as I stated above, the water
is of good quality, you will notice it is very hard and could not be used
for steam making purposes, and would probably be disagreeable for
ordinary washing. Farther down, the quantity of water remained about
the same, but the character of it became worse when the slate was struck.
It carried a large quantity of gas and was very disagreeable to the taste
and smell. At the extreme bottom it was quite salty, and the result of the
experiment seems to be that the idea of securing a supply of water in that
neighborhood in this manner is entirely impracticable.

Yours respectfully,

A. B. Shepherd,
Superintendent,

Bureau of Water Supply and Distribution.

July 16, 1897.

Reproduction of the blue print given opposite this page.

2 Results of analyses will be found in Appendix No. 2, Page 316.
